Live updates from the 12.30pm (BST) kick-offGuardiola says City players ‘are not in the best condition’ Send Scott an email with your thoughts 11.42am BST “We don’t know how to play another way. We will not change because we want to build something. Adapt, of course, because you are facing a good team, but don’t change. When you build something you have to truly believe in what you’re doing.” Wolves coach Nuno, there. And he’s walking it like he talks it: he names an unchanged XI for the third match in a row. Adama Traore continues to wait for his full debut. Pep Guardiola makes a couple of changes, though. John Stones and Gabriel Jesus drop out of the XI named against Huddersfield Town last week. They’re on the bench, making way for Kyle Walker and Raheem Sterling. The 19-year-old Aro Muric, freshly recalled from NAC Breda in the wake of Claudio Bravo’s injury, is the back-up keeper. 11.32am BST Wolverhampton Wanderers: Rui Patricio, Bennett, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Neves, Joao Moutinho, Jonny, Jota, Jimenez, Helder Costa.Subs: Gibbs-White, John Ruddy, Saiss, Ruben Vinagre, Hause, Leo Bonatini, Traore.Manchester City: Ederson, Walker, Kompany, Laporte, Mendy, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, Silva, Sterling, Aguero.Subs: Stones, Delph, Sane, Mahrez, Otamendi, Gabriel Jesus, Muric. 10.38am BST Two games in, and Manchester City are already top of the league again. Can anyone stop Pep Guardiola’s champions? As things stand, they’re on course for a 114-point haul. We jest, of course we jest. But we’re not distorting reality by that much: City did rattle up 100 points last time round, after all, and having already swatted Chelsea, Arsenal and Huddersfield Town aside this season, appear to be in a familiar frame of mind. They’re not letting up. They’ll take some stopping. Related: A trip down memory lane via Maine Road and Filbert Street | Scott Murray Continue readingreadfullarticle
