The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Nearly ten minutes of normal time left and City are on the verge of a fourth straight league win. Wolves did have a small spell of pressure in the second half but that has since subsided. If anything, City look the likelier to add another.

There's now a coming together between Gvardiol and Cunha as both try and win the ball. Both seem ok to continue but the Croatian took too long on the ball on that occasion and was nearly punished for it.
Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Gomes has made six tackles today and since the start of last season has made 233 tackles in the Premier League, 37 more than any other player. There has been bite and legs in that Wolves midfield but they have struggled to progress the ball from the centre of the pitch to the likes of Cunha.

Silva goes down after being caught on the ankle by Ait-Nouri's challenge. It's reviewed by VAR and it doesn't look great for the defender in slow motion in terms of the contact but it's checked and cleared.
