  • PRVW
    Let's get things warmed up with some possible line-ups for the clash!!
  • PRVW
    Both teams aim for a strong start: City want to reassert their dominance after last season’s disappointments, while Wolves seek to build on their late surge and avoid another relegation scrap.
  • PRVW
    Star striker Erling Haaland, who has scored eight goals in five matches against Wolves, is expected to lead the City forward line once again.

    Ait-Nouri and former Wolves player Matheus Nunes are in line to start for City, with Reijnders pushing for his Premier League debut.
  • PRVW
    Ballon d’Or winner Rodri travels with the squad following a serious injury but may only be fit for a substitute appearance, while Phil Foden is recovered from an ankle knock and could feature.
  • PRVW
    Josko Gvardiol, Savinho and Ederson are also ruled out through injury, meaning Trafford will start in goal for the Sky Blues.
  • PRVW
    Manchester City come into the match still without Mateo Kovacic and Kalvin Phillips, both sidelined with Achilles injuries.
  • PRVW
    The attack may feature new names Arias and López supporting Jorgen Strand Larsen, who netted 14 league goals last term.
  • PRVW
    In midfield, the energetic partnership of Joao Gomes and Andre is expected to provide defensive balance for Wolves, with Ki-Jana Hoever starting at right wing-back.
  • PRVW
    The hosts are without Leon Chiwone (knee) and Fabio Silva (thigh), with the latter possibly leaving before the transfer window shuts, while Yerson Mosquera has returned from a knee issue to make the bench.
  • PRVW
    Jose Sa’s save percentage was the lowest among Premier League regulars last season, raising questions about Wolves’ defensive solidity.
  • PRVW
    Pereira is expected to stick with his favoured 3-4-3 formation, with Doherty, Agbadou, and Toti Gomes likely forming the defensive trio in front of Jose Sa.
  • PRVW
    Wolves narrowly avoided relegation last season, ending up in 16th place but finishing the campaign with renewed optimism under Vitor Pereira.
  • PRVW
    Manchester City, last year's third-place finishers, are out to prove a point after relinquishing their long-held title to Liverpool and finishing a distant 13 points adrift.
