Game Details and How to Watch Wolverhampton Wanderers v. Manchester City
Date: Saturday, August 16, 2025
Time: 12:30PM EST
Site: Molineux Stadium
City: Wolverhampton, England
Network/Streaming: NBC / Telemundo, Peacock
Manchester City's streak of four consecutive league titles was snapped last season when Erling Haaland and co. finished third in the league with 71 points from 21 wins, eight draws and nine losses. Wolves, in contrast, struggled throughout the campaign finishing 16th with 42 points from 12 wins, six draws and 20 defeats.
Manchester City are unbeaten in their last three Premier League opening games, having won outright each of the three. In fact, they kicked off last season with four consecutive wins. Wolverhampton have lost their last four Premier League openers. In addition, City have only lost one of their last ten head-to-heads with Wolves.
It would be no surprise to see Manchester City score, having netted at least twice in five of their last seven Premier League games to end last season. Wolves are in poor form, having finished last season with defeats in three of their final four league games.
Wolves' defense has shown signs of vulnerability, with the hosts failing to keep a clean sheet in their final four Premier League games of last season. They have now conceded in five of their last seven home matches.
Best Bet: Manchester City can edge this, with a 1-0 correct score in favor of the visitors looking like a decent bet. At least one side failed to score in four of City's six Premier League games at the end of last season, and they have been the winners of the last two league meetings with Wolves by a single goal.

André Onana Before the Premier League showdown between Manchester United and Arsenal, Red Devils coach Ruben Amorim spoke out about André Onana's absence. This Sunday, André Onana is not in the Manchester United squad for their first big clash of the season against Arsenal in the Premier League. The Cameroonian goalkeeper was deemed not quite ready to return to action. Ahead of the encounter with the Gunners, Red Devils manager Ruben Amorim explained his decision to leave Onana out. "He's not injured, he's recovered… but the other players worked well during pre-season, so I have to find a balance. Next week, it'll be a different story. This week, we chose these players." the coach stated. A tactical decision, then.

💫 Arsenal open scoring in familiar fashion against Man United
It took Arsenal just 13 minutes to open their 2025/26 Premier League account at Old Trafford. There was an element of fortune as Altay Bayındır palmed Declan Rice's corner straight into the path of Riccardo Calafiori, who tapped in from point-blank range. For the Gunners, it felt like déjà vu as Mikel Arteta's side continued their impressive return of scoring from set-pieces against the Red Devils. Will Arsenal hold onto their lead and claim an opening match victory? 📸 PAUL ELLIS - AFP or licensors
