The 2023/24 Premier League campaign kicks off with a clash between defending champions Manchester City and newly promoted Burnley at Turf Moor on August 11.
City stormed to a trophy treble at the back end of last season, with Pep Guardiola’s side sealing the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League crowns, as part of a memorable run-in.
However, the summer turnaround has been quick for Guardiola, as he takes on former City captain Vincent Kompany in the season opener.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Burnley vs Man City lineups
All eyes will be on Turf Moor for this clash with Kompany’s preseason lineups giving an insight into his plans for the campaign ahead.
Michael Obafemi misses out through injury, but summer signings Dara O’Shea, Jordan Beyer, James Trafford and Zeki Amdouni should all start.
Burnley projected lineup (4-2-3-1): Trafford (GK) — Roberts, Ekdal, Beyer, O’Shea — Cork, Cullen — Zaoury, Amdouni, Larsen — Rodriguez
Guardiola has confirmed Nathan Ake is unlikely to be fit in time, but Ederson and Kevin De Bruyne should start, after being rested for the penalty shootout defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield.
Man City projected lineup (4-2-3-1): Ederson (GK) — Walker, Dias, Stones, Akanji — Rodri, Kovacic — Silva, De Bruyne, Grealish — Haaland
Burnley vs Man City prediction, odds
Kompany will be confident of rallying the home crowd into making a hostile environment for City’s return to Premier League action, but Guardiola is a veteran of these situations.
Since his arrival at City in 2016, City have won six of the seven opening Premier League in each season, since the start of the 2016/17 campaign.
Prediction: Burnley 1-3 Man City
