Live updates from Molineux as Wolves host Manchester City on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season.
“Phil Foden was injured, Kovacic is out he will be back, Savinho will be back as well as Josko Gvardiol and look at the bench. You have Ake and Gundogan.
“I like a deeper squad to compete in all competitions but I don’t want to leave players at home, I don’t want it.
“It’s not healthy, you cannot create a good vibe, a good atmosphere when everyone has to feel that they can’t play, I can’t compete with my teammates.”
Full-time at Molineux and it’s a big opening day win for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, who defeat Wolves 4-0.
Straight to the top of the Premier League for the Citizens.
Nico Gonzalez is down receiving treatment.
Nothing comes from the freekick for Manchester City, who will have to play seven more minutes.
Freekick right on the edge of the box for Manchester City.
Omar Marmoush is taken out by Joao Gomes.
I feel like I’m watching a game of FIFA Streets with all the flicks and tricks these Manchester City players are doing.
Very retro.
Abdukodir Khusanov replaces John Stones.
Jorgen Strand Larsen is off for Hee Chan Hwang.
Never mind, City have a fourth of the game and it’s new boy Rayan Cherki who gets it.
The Frenchman picks the ball up on the edge of the box and fires it into the bottom left corner.
Wolves have upped the anti with the four new substitutes.
They have started to pin Man City back, with Jhon Arias looking very lively.
Big save from James Trafford to deny Jorgen Strand Larsen.
Substitute Jhon Arias takes the ball off Nico Gonzalez before cutting it back to Strand Larsen, who sets himself before firing at goal, but Trafford is able to palm the ball away.
Erling Haaland’s day is done with two goals in the bag.
He is replaced by Rayan Cherki.
Fer Lopez, Rodrigo Gomes, Jhon Arias and Hugo Bueno are entering the pitch.
They replace David Moller Wolfe, Andre, Ki-Jana Hoever and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
Matt Doherty is cautioned after taking out Omar Marmoush.
Nico O’Reilly, Matheus Nunes and Omar Marmoush are about to come on.
They replace Rico Lewis, Jeremy Doku and Bernardo Silva.
Ex-Wolves player Nunes is met with boos.
That is quite sensational from Manchester City!
Erling Haaland might have got the goal, but Tijjani Reijnders has been the star of the show.
Yet again he’s involved in the goal, as he jinks his way through the Wolves team, does a give and go with Oscar Bobb before cutting the ball back to Haaland to fire past Sa and give City their third of the match.
Another chance for Strand Larsen, who is stretching for the ball, but his lobbed finish is tipped over the bar by Trafford.
Another missed opportunity from Wolves!
The ball makes its way to Munetsi, whose ball is flashed across goal but once again Strand Larsen fails to get a touch on it.
Wolves need to make these chances count.
Tiijani Reijnders is the first player shown a yellow card after he chops down Bellegarde.
Rayan Ait-Nouri tries his luck on the volley but the ball balloons over the bar.
Play resumes, with Strand Larsen on the side of the pitch receiving treatment.
Another Wolves player down and its Jorgen Strand Larsen.
He looks to be in real agony.
So close from Wolves straight from kick off!
Hoever bursts down the right-hand side and his cross is met by Strand Larsen but he can only send it the wrong side of the post!
Back underway here at Molineux!
Halt-time at Molineux and it’s Wolves 0-2 Manchester City.
