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.

    FH GW2 looking like the play for me.

    No double GW’s likely in first half of the season and no better time to load up on Arsenal, Haaland, Bournemouth etc…

    Only a matter of time before City concede. Not sure about my RAN pick. Was expecting him to be more attacking at least.

      The Pep effect it’s called. Turning exciting players into boring drones, chained to a system that shuns flair and spontaneity

    Feeling scammed!! I activated my BB before the deadline (have a screenshot showing this). Yet ive just realised its not registered for some reason.

    Reijnders the only player to return points from my bench so maybe its a blessing in disguise.

    Anyone else had this issue??

      Yeah. I got scammed 2 seasons ago when they began using the tiny blue line as the new BB image
