Players that join us really want to play and progress with us, not looking for the next move. That is definitely not our idea, definitely not.”

Wolves – Man City prediction
This should be a treat but perhaps absence is making us see more cracks in City’s foundation than exist in reality. City won its last five PL matches of last season by a combined 21-1 score line. Wolves are very good and have done well versus City but we’ll project 2-1 for the visitors.
