Met Office Warns Storm Erin Could Disrupt UK Weather with Heavy Rain and Strong Winds.
Tottenham Hotspur opened their Premier League campaign at home against newly promoted Burnley. History strongly favors Spurs, as they have won eight of their last nine home matches against Burnley, with the only draw coming back in August 2017.
For Burnley, this marks just their second-ever Premier League opener in London. Their first was in 2017–18 when they shocked the defending champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. While Burnley arrive with ambition and confidence from promotion, Spurs remain the heavy favorites on home soil. Analysts predict a comfortable Spurs victory, with a likely scoreline of 3–1.
Manchester City began their season with a challenging away fixture at Wolverhampton Wanderers. Kick-off was scheduled for 5:30 pm BST, with plenty of anticipation surrounding Pep Guardiola’s side after a trophyless campaign last season.
Key news for City was the cautious return of midfielder Rodri, who is coming back from an ACL injury. Guardiola confirmed that his playing time would be carefully managed to avoid further setbacks. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Ederson’s future remains uncertain, though Guardiola insisted he is still very much part of the squad.
Statistically, City hold the upper hand, winning four of their last five meetings against Wolves and scoring 14 goals in those games while conceding just five. Wolves, however, have occasionally troubled City at Molineux in the past. With fresh transfers and a rejuvenated coaching staff, City are pushing to reclaim domestic dominance.
Most predictions place City as clear favorites, with a 2–0 scoreline widely expected.
