Manchester City legend Vincent Kompany has warned that his Burnley team will be seeking to pick up from where they left off in the Championship as winners when the two sides meet for a 'perfect' Premier League curtain raiser.
Kompany is boss at the newly promoted Clarets and it was revealed this morning that Pep Guardiola's City will be their first opponents of the 2023/24 Premier League campaign. It will also be the first game of the new season overall, with the action kicking off at 8pm on Friday, August 11, in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
The Burnley has already taken on his former side and boss last season when the Clarets headed to the Etihad Stadium in an FA Cup quarter-final. However, City won 6-0 on that day as Kompany's return to his former stomping ground did not end well for his team.
