Wolves vs Manchester City s preview: Wolves lose serious blood loss and it is difficult to stop Manchester City from getting a good start at home

At 00:30 am on August 17, in the first round of the Premier League 2025-26 season, Wolves played against Manchester City at home.

Wolves vs Manchester City, the highlights of the game are as follows:

First: The situation of the two teams! Wolves ranked 16th in the Premier League last season and fifth from the bottom, with a total value of 319 million euros; Manchester City ranked third in the Premier League last season, and Guardiola's rare season was empty. Wolves' main players Cunya and Nouri were poached by Manchester United and Manchester City respectively this summer window. Important rotations such as Semedo, Saravia, and Guedes also left the team, and the lineup was seriously bleeding. Although they signed new players such as Arias and Wolfi, it took time to adapt. For Manchester City, De Bruyne left the team and signed strong players such as Reindez, Sherki, Nuri, Trafford, etc., but it is difficult for Rodri to return to his peak due to repeated injuries. Manchester City needs new players to take the lead in the new season.

Second: Wolves lost serious blood loss, and it is difficult for Manchester City to get a good start at home! The Wolves' lineup has become weaker than last season, and Manchester City is full of variables, among which Serky is very worth looking forward to. This new No. 10 of Manchester City will be the team's greatest creativity on the offensive end. Haaland needs to improve the stability of output and the ability to break the density. Manchester City was defeated by the Club World Cup and was eliminated by the Asian team (Riyadh Crescent), which is enough to show that Manchester City needs to improve their ability to fight a counterattack team and how to avoid losing the ball and being beaten by the opponent to quickly counterattack. However, due to the huge gap in lineups between the two teams in this game, Manchester City is still optimistic about Manchester City's away win and win a good start in the new Premier League season.

The two sides have faced each other in the last 6 times, and Wolves have lost 1 win and 5 losses, and are at an absolute disadvantage.

Injury situations between the two sides: Wolves have Silva and Enso Gonzalez; Manchester City have Severho, Kovasic and Guvadior.
