Man City starts Premier League title defence as Spanish and French seasons also begin
The Premier League begins with champion Manchester City playing away at Burnley, which won the second-tier Championship last season. Burnley is coached by Vincent Kompany, who is one of City’s greatest players and has a statue outside the club’s stadium in Manchester. City is coming off a treble-winning season when it collected the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League trophies. City manager Pep Guardiola said, “I don’t think it will be possible to do again what we have done last season.
While Sevilla is hoping to build on last season when it won a record-extending seventh Europa League title, Valencia is facing another difficult year after Edinson Cavani, Yunus Musah and Justin Kluivert left the club. Earlier, Almeria plays host to Rayo Vallecano in the inaugural match of the new season. Rayo is managed by former Almeria coach Francisco Rodriguez, who replaced the successful Andoni Iraola after he took over Bournemouth in the Premier League.
