The Clarets are facing life back in the second tier for the first time since finishing the 2015/16 season as Championship winners, going 23 undefeated.

Kompany, however, feels he will quickly learn the nuances of what is considered one of the toughest divisions in Europe.
He saId: "If we stay just on being honest, until you've done the Championship, you don't know anything about the Championship.
"But I'm a quick learner and I'm ready for the challenge.
"I'm completely also ready to admit what I don't know, so I'm surrounded by people who do know and make sure I do learn quickly.
"That's just a matter of time.
"We'll have the same interview in three months' time and it'll be different.”
