Is Kompany under pressure?

Shamoon Hafez, BBC Sport

Burnley are now just one place off the foot of the table on goal difference following Sheffield United's first victory of the season over Wolves on Saturday.

On the same day, the Clarets suffered a 2-0 home defeat by Crystal Palace to become the first side to lose six straight home games at the start of the campaign.

Vincent Kompany's men had a tough start but really needed to win their past two games against Bournemouth and Palace. They have not even managed to collect any points.

The pressure will not be cranking up on the Belgian boss internally, but the fans are beginning to get restless and displayed their displeasure by booing their side off at full-time against Palace.

As mentioned by Kompany after the game, individual errors are severely hampering his team and those mistakes desperately need to be cut out if they are to up this season.

They travel to title-chasing Arsenal on Saturday and Kompany will know that a demoralising defeat will increase the strain on his position.

With credit in the bank from winning the Championship last season, the board will be fully behind the manager but we know what can happen when those upstairs start getting itchy during an international break.
