at Burnley

[gavin]

CITY XI: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Ake, Lewis, Rodrigo, De Bruyne (C), Bernardo, Foden, Alvarez, Haaland

Subs: Ortega Moreno, Phillips, Kovacic, Grealish, Laporte, Gomez, Gvardiol, Palmer, McAtee

Interesting to see Lewis at left back and good to see Phil starting

[gavin]

No Stones or Dias on the bench, must be injured. Thought Kovacic would be starting.

Good to see Erling's drought didn't last long into the new season.

[gavin]

I just hope and pray that KDB is okay and it was just a precaution to take him off. Burnely have been quite competitive but not really had clear chances. Erling is just deadly again.

[gavin]

Nice, comfortable win to start. Rodri's on fire.

[KunDB]

In reality City didn't have to break sweat. Lovely start and Haaland back in the scoresheet.

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

I liked how we did plenty of little passes once we got to the edge of their box, when previously we'd have gone backwards.

Early days but still.

[Stephen Paul]

Slightly rusty but a decent win
