How to watch today's Wolves vs Manchester City Premier League game: Live stream, TV channel, and start time

Manchester City kick off their 2025-26 Premier League campaign on the road, heading to Molineux to face Wolves on Saturday.

The defending treble winners they are not, last season was a whirlwind that saw Pep Guardiola’s men finish third behind Liverpool and Arsenal, prompting a summer shake-up. Out went Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, and Jack Grealish, while the transfer window brought a fresh wave of talent, including Rayan Aït-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders, and goalkeeper James Trafford. 

Guardiola’s rebuilt side will have their eyes firmly fixed on reclaiming the crown, and their opening test comes against a Wolves team that scraped to 16th place last campaign. History isn't on Wolves' side either; they've fallen in nine of their last 10 league meetings with City, but they'll be desperate to flip the script on opening weekend.

Wolves team news

Yerson Mosquera, who returned in the final two pre-season outings after a long ACL layoff, could finally taste competitive action again. Three of Wolves' summer recruits, including promising Spanish forward Fer Lopez, may be thrown straight into the starting XI.

Manchester City team news

City, meanwhile, have injury headaches. Phil Foden remains a doubt after an ankle knock kept him out of the Palermo trip, potentially handing Bernardo Silva a start on the right. 

Rodri is sidelined for the first month after a setback, and Mateo Kovacic faces two months out with an Achilles injury. Aït-Nouri is set for a debut against the very club he departed just weeks ago, adding an intriguing twist to the curtain-raiser.
