After a few minutes, the worldwide trending Premier League will kick off with the title holders, Manchester City, starting their Premier League campaign by facing Burnley.

Josko Gvardiol will make his first Man City appearance on the bench.

The Croatian international joined the club from RB Leipzig last week and didn't participate in the Community Shield loss to Arsenal at Wembley Stadium.

The Treble winners will play without both Ruben Dias and John Stones.

Kevin De Bruyne will start in the game, despite missing out the most of the preseason. 

Rico Lewis will begin at left-back for the visitors, while Phil Foden will be on the bench with Jack Grealish.

Erling Haaland leads the line as expected.

The confirmed lineups:

Man City XI: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Ake, Lewis, Rodri, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Foden, Alvarez, Haaland

Burnley XI: Trafford (GK), Roberts, O'Shea, Al-Dakhil, Beyer, Koleosho, Berge, Cullen, Da Silva, Amdouni, Foster
