Man City reclaim what was lost

This will be the time when coach Pep Guardiola and his team are determined to regain Man City's position as the leader of the English football world.

Traveling to Wolves' home field, Man City is determined to win all 3 points, to have a perfect start in the opening match of the new season at 11:30 p.m. on August 17.

Finishing only in 3rd place in the Premier League and empty-handed for the first time after 8 glorious seasons, there is no doubt that this will be the time for coach Pep Guardiola and his team to regain their position as the leader of the foggy football village. Saying goodbye to many pillars such as Kevin de Bruyne, Kyle Walker and Jack Grealish, Man City also had time to add potential new players such as Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki, Rayan Ait-Nouri and James Trafford.

Among them, Rayan Cherki is expected to join Omar Marmoush and Erling Haaland to create a new attack for Man City. Haaland is still the main "gun" with the ability to finish coldly, while Cherki brings creativity, soft technique and the ability to create breakthroughs from both wings. Marmoush stands out with his speed, smart running ability and extremely fast finishing in the penalty area. He has more than enough to shine after the second half of last season, having time to shape his style after joining the Etihad team.

Man City's run before the new season is also very impressive: Winning 4/5 friendly matches, all with a difference of more than 1 goal. History is also in favor of "The Citizens" when they always have a very favorable start with 8/9 away wins, in the opening match of the new season.

Meanwhile, Wolverhampton have just gone through some very difficult days. Coach Vítor Pereira will face many difficulties this season when losing key striker Matheus Cunha to Man United. The "Wolves" also did not have the best preparation when losing 4/5 friendly matches and have not kept a clean sheet. Statistics show that Man City won 4/5 of the most recent confrontations with Wolves, scoring 12 goals and conceding only 4. The last time they visited Molineux, Man City even won 3-0 thanks to a hat-trick by Haaland.

Experts say Man City will likely win by 2-3 goals. Wolves may create a few counter-attacking opportunities, but standing firm against the "blue storm" Man City is not easy. The opening match to affirm Pep Guardiola and his students' ambition to regain the throne will not end with 3 points for the away team but also a strong message from the former champions to all opponents.

Pep warned his players not to be complacent, because Wolves always play aggressively at home and are ready to counterattack quickly.
