Pep Guardiola's Manchester City will be as rabid as ever to reclaim its Premier League title as the season gets underway with a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
How to Watch Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City

Manchester City failed to win the Premier League title for just the second time in seven years last season, but the path to redemption begins at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday. The Citizens travel to Molineux in the late kick-off hoping to avoid any early snags in their efforts to reclaim the crown from usurper Liverpool.
Former Wolves captain Rayan Ait-Nouri will be among the familiar faces in the West Midlands as he returns to his former club in Week 1, hoping to triumph for the first time as a visitor. Guardiola will also be leaning on the talents of Tijjani Reijnders to bag an early three points after he replaced City legend Kevin De Bruyne over the summer.
Eight-time Premier League champion City will also be without the talents of Ballon d'Or-winner Rodri after Guardiola revealed the Spaniard is likely to be out until September through injury. His side lost just one of their games this summer after falling short in their attempts to win the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States, being ousted by Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Hilal in extra time.
Wolves, meanwhile, failed to win a single pre-season fixture as manager Vitor Pereira oversaw his first summer at their helm. That will count for nought as the real business gets underway, however, as Saturday's hosts seek to claim an early scalp despite barely avoiding relegation last term.
