We’ve had only one away goal in the Premier League today – but you’d be surprised if we don’t see a few more in the late game.

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ visitors are Manchester City, who haven’t failed to score in a Premier League fixture at Molineux since 2003.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST.

There’s no Ederson in the visitors’ squad this afternoon, with James Trafford getting his competitive City debut between the sticks instead.

Trafford is one of three summer signings in Pep Guardiola’s line-up. Tijjani Reijnders, who is the most-owned Fantasy midfielder from the City squad, and Rayan Ait-Nouri are the other two.

Another new recruit, Rayan Cherki, has to settle for a place on the bench.

Guardiola opts for Rico Lewis at right-back over Matheus Nunes, while the absent Josko Gvardiol is effectively replaced by John Stones at centre-half.

Erling Haaland, unsurprisingly, leads the line, with Omar Marmoush among the substitutes.

As for Wolves, £4.0m defender Ki-Jana Hoever gets a start at right wing-back.

Vitor Pereira hands David Moller Wolfe, Ait-Nouri’s replacement, his Premier League debut on the other flank.

Two other summer captures, Jhon Arias and Fer Lopez, are among the substitutes.

LINE-UPS

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa, Hoever, Toti, Agbadou, Doherty, Wolfe, Andre, Gomes, Bellegarde, Munetsi, Strand Larsen.

Subs: Johnstones, H. Bueno, S. Bueno, Mosquera, Lopez, R. Gomes, Hwang, Arias, Kalajdzic.

Manchester City XI: Trafford, Lewis, Dias, Stones, Ait-Nouri, Reijnders, Gonzalez, Silva, Bobb, Doku, Haaland.

Subs: Ortega Moreno, Ake, Marmoush, Cherki, Gundogan, Akanji, Nunes, O’Reilly, Khusanov.

    One of my mates has Konsa & they've awarded him CS points before deducting the red - surely that can't be right?
