Vincent Kompany fights back against Burnley's poor form and insists he 'believes' his side have 'adapted' to the Premier League after difficult start

Vincent Kompany has suffered no loss of belief despite the bruising start to the season suffered by his Burnley side.

Last season Kompany's men were breaking records as they charged to the Championship title with 101 points, with many - not least Pep Guardiola - talking up the former Manchester City captain's chances of one day taking over at the Etihad Stadium.

But there has been a major reality check for Burnley since they got back to the top flight and history is now being made for the wrong reasons as they have lost seven straight home league games to start the campaign, and go into Saturday's match against fellow strugglers Sheffield United rock bottom.
