Wolves v Manchester City: match preview
If Manchester City are to mount a better title challenge this season then this is the kind of match where they must show improvement. Wolves beat City home and away last season and kicked off their own campaign with a fine win at Sheffield United last week before slipping up in the Carabao Cup against Stoke. Adama Traoré did plenty of damage to City last season so one of Pep Guardiola’s new signings, Ferran Torres, could be in for a heck of a baptism while the other, Nathan Aké, may be handed the equally difficult task of trying to suppress Raul Jiménez. As ever, City will be counting on their attack to offset any defensive problems. Paul Doyle
