The Burnley vs. Man City match in the English Premier League 2023/24 will be played on August 12 at 2:00 p.m., and the official lineup will be announced at that time.View the roster of players that contributed the most to the most realistic recreation of the Burnley vs. Man City match.
It has been announced by Head Coach Pep Guardiola that Josko Gvardiol will make his debut for Manchester City in tonight’s Premier League encounter against Burnley. Gvardiol was a major summer purchase for City.
The Croatian center back was acquired from RB Leipzig for a transfer fee of £77.6 million last week, but he did not play in the Super Cup match against Arsenal on Sunday.Now, Guardiola will be forced to make a decision over whether or not to start Gvardiol or to maintain the pairing of John Stones and Ruben Dias.
Meanwhile, Kevin De Bruyne could also be present. Although the Belgium international missed much of pre-season training because of a hamstring injury, he still featured in the second half at Wembley.
In general, there has been little change in the starting XI of Man City, except for doubts about whether De Bruyne will start or not. Erling Haaland still leads the attack, with a trio of Bernardo Silva, Jack Grealish and Julian Alvarez supporting the back, and rookie Mateo Kovacic kicks in midfield with Rodrigo.
For his part, Burnley is absent rookie Obafemi after having hamstring surgery. But another new signing is goalkeeper James Trafford against the old club.
One of the big challenges for Burnley is replacing last season’s top scorer Nathan Tella, who has returned to Southampton, and Amdouni arrived in the summer to solve that problem.
Probable teams
Burnley: Trafford; Roberts, Beyer, O’Shea, Vitinho; Cork, Cullen; Redmond, Brownhill, Zaroury; Amdouni.
Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Slides; Rodri, Kovacic; Bernardo Silva, Grealish, Alvarez; Haala
