Opposing manager - Rob Edwards

Edwards came to national prominence as a manager when he guided Luton Town in the top-flight via the 2022/23 Championship play-offs.

Operating on a shoestring budget by Premier League standards, Edwards’ Luton gave a good account of themselves but ultimately succumbed to relegation.

He then left the club midway through the following campaign before arriving at Middlesbrough in the summer of 2025.

However, after a promising start on Teesside, he chose to make the move to Wolves in November - the club he’d been most successful with as a player.

He eventually guided Wolves to their first win of the campaign earlier this month and has overseen an upturn in results, even they remain bottom of the Premier League.

TEAM NEWS

Marc Guéhi is handed a City debut with Matheus Nunes returning after illness as City make five changes in total for Saturday’s return to Premier League action at home to Wolves.

England international Guéhi, who joined the Club from Crystal Palace last Monday, steps straight into the centre of defence while Nunes – who has missed the last two games with a virus – is restored at right back.

Omar Marmoush, skipper Bernardo Silva and Antoine Semenyo also come into Pep Guardiola’s starting eleven.

From the side that began Tuesday’s Champions League loss away to Bodo/Glimt of Norway, Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Rico Lewis, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Max Alleyne all revert to the bench.

Nico, Josko Gvardiol, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Savinho, Mateo Kovacic and Oscar Bobb all remain injured and unavailable for selection.

Teams

CITY XI: Donnarumma, Nunes, Khusanov, Guéhi, O’Reilly, Rodri, Bernardo (C), Reijnders, Semenyo, Cherki, Marmoush

Pep Guardiola preview

In Friday’s press conference, the boss was asked if we will see new signing Marc Guéhi on Saturday. He said: “Yes. Really good [to have him]. Considering the absence of central defenders it’s really good.”

The boss is excited to have him in the team but says having Guéhi is not the only solution to returning to winning ways after back-to-back defeats.

“It’ll help us because Marc is exceptional,” Guardiola added. “A player for the national team, a captain for the team who won the FA Cup last season.

“They made an incredible season with Oliver Glasner and this season they struggled for themselves and the injuries as well.

“But I have the feeling, that fragility is not just about one player. It would be nice but it’s not just about that.

“I know what the solution is to make us not have the fragility.”

Last time out

City laboured to a 3-1 Champions League defeat at Bodo/Glimt on Tuesday evening.

Played on an artificial pitch in freezing conditions, the Blues never warmed to the occasion as Kasper Hogh had the hosts 2-0 up by half-time.

They made it three just before the hour mark with a curling Jens Petter Hauge effort before Rayan Cherki gave us a glimmer of hope a minute later.

However, that was extinguished almost immediately as Rodri was sent off following two quickfire yellow cards.

Previous meeting

These two sides last met on the opening day of the 2025/26 season, with City running out convincing 4-0 winners at Molineux.

Haaland tapped home at the back post for the opener just past the half hour mark after a pinpoint cross from the left by Rico Lewis.

Reijnders doubled our lead moments later after moving onto an Oscar Bobb through ball and producing a classy finish.

Our No.9 Haaland, who has scored on each of his four Premier League opening days, put the game beyond Wolves with a mesmeric move involving Reijnders and Bobb which ended with the clinical Norwegian firing past Jose Sa.

Cherki completed the scoring on a wonderful afternoon with a bullet drive just eight minutes after coming on.
