Comments:
Burnley lost only one home league game in the previous season's League Championship title-winning success. . The Clarets started this game with seven players who had not played in the Premier League before. . Former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany became the first Belgian to manage in the Premier League. . Anass Zaroury was shown a yellow card in the third minute of added time at the end of the game but was upgraded to a red card following a VAR review. He became the first Burnley player to be sent-off in their 153 home games in the Premier League.3 Manchester City
