Champions Man City fight back for 1-1 draw at bold Wolves

The game will be shown live on Sky Sports Premier League and Main Event channels and Sky Sports subscribers can stream the match online via SkyGo.

Last season, it felt like to me there was a lot of work done about how to stop City, but not about how to damage them. If ever there was a sign of a player no longer suited to a Guardiola team, that was it.

Pep Guardiola’s heavyweights then struggled to make inroads against Nuno’s newcomers, who looked unified and fearless against a side who won 32 of their 38 matches on the way to claiming the title last time out.

He flew to Barcelona for further tests on Thursday. Now, he’s revealed his picks for this weekend’s Premier League fixtures.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s men weathered intense City pressure before claiming a surprise lead.

He said: “Every team has a weakness”.

Wolves were excellent as they harassed the City players in possession throughout the 90 minutes in an energetic performance.

That effectively means that Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho and Raul Jimenez will be the torch bearers for an attacking display against City.

The frightening juggernaut of Manchester City was finally given a reality check by newly-promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday.

City recalled Aro Muric from his loan spell with NAC Breda this week and the 19-year-old could be on the bench at Molineux.

Fernandinho has recovered from a knock but Danilo remains out with an ankle injury. Right back Danilo is back in training but is not expected to be back in the squad for the next one month.

The hosts started the second half faster, and just over 10 minutes after the interval Helder Costa managed to break clear of Aymeric Laporte and Vincent Kompany, but was unable to sort his feet out and Ederson was able to push his shot behind. He came back because maybe he’ll play in the other competitions. What he did last season was so important’. Man City are the most hard team to play against in this league, 99 per cent of the teams they play don’t lay a glove on them, let alone create chances.

It was fitting therefore on Saturday that City should visit Molineux so close to their anniversary, offering an opportunity to see how Wolves are doing – and more importantly – just how far they have to go.

“We can not be in a rush to compare ourselves with a club the dimensions of Manchester City. They will be our three goalkeepers”. Wolves also have the attacking quality to hurt defences and could end up scoring themselves.
