Man City XI vs Burnley: Gvardiol debut, confirmed team news, predicted lineup and injury latest
The Croatia international joined the club from RB Leipzig for £77.6m last week but was not involved during Sunday’s Community Shield penalty shootout loss to Arsenal.
The treble winners could hand the 21-year-old his first appearance for the trip to Turf Moor, while Kevin De Bruyne may also be involved.
Despite the Belgian international missing most of pre-season with a hamstring injury picked up in the Champions League final, De Bruyne featured at Wembley.
Given the manner in which they ended last season, it’s difficult to envisage Guardiola making too many unenforced changes.
Manchester City predicted XI: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Akanji; Rodri, Kovacic; Bernardo, Grealish, Alvarez; Haaland
Injured: None
Doubts: Ake
Time and date: 8pm BST on Friday 11 August, 2023
Venue: Turf Moor
