Man City defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield event cannot be a benchmark for this prediction. I think Pep will try his squad to win full points in the EPL opener this time. At least sharing a draw is more likely for Burnley, this match was filled with emotion for Vincent Kompany.
Playing in front of a home crowd will benefit Kompany squad, I think the result will end in a draw.
That's true and many members here have also said that pre-season and friendly matches cannot be a benchmark to be able to judge and ensure that for the Premier League which can actually be similar.
The first game kicks off on Saturday 12 August and Manchester City have their first Premier League game scheduled vs Burnley and the game will be played at the Turf Moor Stadium which is Burnley's home ground.
Even though it's a home game for Burnley but I'm sure Manchester City will play well and win the match considering that in their record of the last 5 meetings Manchester City have all wins.
After all, Manchester City must be trying hard to have more points in every game.
