Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Manchester City in the Premier League today.

Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.

European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.

Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.

It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City

WIDE!!! De Bruyne passes across-field to Grealish, who dribbles into the area and tees up Mahrez. Cancelo arrives late and shoots instead, lashing his effort into the side netting!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City

WIDE!!! Wolves come forward and Neves does well to play in Hwang. He smashes a shot from a tight angle, flashing it across the face of goal and wide for a goal kick!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City

OFF THE UPRIGHT!!! Wolves try to play their way out of trouble but City pressure forces a wayward pass. De Bruyne latches onto it, and curls one to the far post, but it strikes the upright to deny the Belgian a record-equalling fifth goal!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City

WIDE!!! De Bruyne's pass forward puts Sterling through on goal, but his side-footed effort rolls around the outside of the far post!!! The offside flag's up anyway, but that was a chance for a second goal in as many minutes for Sterling!

Hwang chases a loose ball but loses the race to Ake, and goes down holding his calf.

Foden's been unlucky not to have a goal or assist in this game, and he comes off now for Jack Grealish.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City

Cancelo picks off Ait Nouri's clearance and surges into the box, but his floated cross to the back post is plucked out of the air by Sa.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City

CHANCE!! Ome-touch football from the gods sees City play Foden through down the left. He floats the ball to the far post, but Sterling mis-times his effort and misses before colliding with the post!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City

City are in cruise control at the moment. Wolves have had their spells, but City, and De Bruyne in particular, are so threatening when on the ball in Wolves' half. Dangerous, to a man.
