Man City Begin Title Defence Against Burnley
Tonight marks the start of the 2022/2023 Premier League season with newly promoted Burnley facing off against treble winners Manchester City at Turf Moor. Pep Guardiola's side made history last season by winning the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup, becoming the first team to achieve this feat since Manchester United in 1999. Vincent Kompany, Burnley's manager, led his team to the Championship title last season and will now face the daunting challenge of taking on the mighty Cityzens in the season opener.
New Look Burnley Squad
Burnley had a stellar season in the Championship, finishing at the top of the table with 101 points and only three losses. Tonight's game will be a real test for the newly promoted side as they go up against the reigning champions. Burnely will be hoping to make a difference with their new signings, including £19million goalkeeper James Trafford, who was snatched from opponents Manchester City.
City Aiming for Fourth Title in a Row
Manchester City will be looking to continue dominating the Premier League and begin their quest for a record-breaking fourth title in a row. Despite losing the Community Shield to Arsenal last week, the Cityzens are confident they can start the season on a high. They have a strong track record against Burnley, having defeated them 6-1 in the FA Cup quarter-finals last season.
The Battle of the Star Men
One of the key players to watch tonight will be Erling Haaland, who scored a remarkable 36 goals in 35 appearances last season. The Norwegian striker also recorded a hat-trick against Burnley in their cup clash. Burnley's Josh Brownhill was exceptional last season, with seven goals and eight assists from midfield. He will be looking to continue his impressive form in the Premier League.
SunSport Prediction
Burnley has the potential to cause surprises this season under Kompany's leadership, but it's difficult to bet against a team like Manchester City. Our prediction for tonight's match is Burnley 0 Man City 3.
