I can't wait for the first Premier League game of the season. Moreover, the Burnley vs Manchester City match will present a crucial match because Burnley is a promotion team and Manchester is the defending champion. Apart from that, we will see the two figures of coaches who really performed brilliantly last season managing their team. Even a reunion will happen in this game between Pep Guardiola and Kompany.

Yes, this is a crucial match for Burnley. But I believe Burnley are not as weak as we think, otherwise they will not be promoted to the Premier League. But anyway I believe that Manchester City are the favorites to win the match, of course because Manchester City are a team that has a lot more quality than Vincent Kompany's side.

The coach of Burnley is a coach that was once a player in Manchester City, I do not know how that is supposed to give him an advantage, but that is some kind of advantage I think. Also you cannot underestimate teams that are fresh from relegation, sometimes their blood is hot, and with that motivation of being in the premier league can make them want to win the reigning premier league champions as a big statement. They can do it if Manchester City do not put up a good performance. There is also the advantage that they are playing this game at home in front of their supporters, that can help give them morale and boost.

I know that Vincent Kompany was an important former player for Manchester City, but that doesn't necessarily make him understand the way they play under Pep Guardiola. Manchester City has a good record against Burnley, last season Manchester City even beat Burnley in the FA Cup.

I certainly don't underestimate Burnley and their low probability of winning, but that's how it is. Burnley don't have high odds despite playing at home, but 90 minutes is a long time to get a different result than most people expect.
