I think today is not to the time to complain about what is missing, it is time to think about ourselves and our players. We have a very good group and we will compete in the game for sure. I want my players to be brave, to see good tactical organisation and to see the true spirit of the team.

Wolves secured safety last season with six straight wins between March and April, a run of results as good as Manchester City’s was bad during their terrible winter.

Vitor Pereira has included David Moller Wolfe, his £10m signing from AZ Alkmaar.

Oscar Bobb had an injury nightmare last season and only returned from his fractured leg in April - but he starts for Manchester City tonight.

James Trafford makes his senior debut for City after returning to the club, while Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Ait-Nouri are the summer signings who are starting at Molineux.
