Guardiola’s men trip to Turf More is on August 11 and it will certainly be a special occasion, since Kompany, who has impressed at Burnley, leading them convincingly back to the England’s top flight, was an iconic figure at the Citizens, captaining them for 8 years and leading them to 4 Premier League titles.
