The Cityzens came out on top to defeat the Wolves when these clubs last clashed

Wolverhampton Wanderers are all set to host Manchester City in the match week 1 fixture of the 2025-26 English Premier League edition. Molineux Stadium is all set to witness the clash between these sides.

The Wolves will be at home, but they will not be feeling fully confident here. Their pre-season run has been poor. Wolverhampton Wanderers have lost all of their last three matches and their opening game of the new season is against Man City, which is going to be a tough affair for them.

Despite being away from home, the Pep Guardiola-led side will be feeling confident. They have secured some positive results in their last three games against the Wolves. Manchester City only took part in a single pre-season game and grabbed an easy win. The Cityzens will be keen on beginning their new season on a positive note.
