The Premier League weekend commenced with the clash of the Titans from last season. That Manchester City produced football from a new world is well documented. At the same time, Wolverhampton Wanderers were securing their return to the Premier League doing likewise in the Championship.
Their boss, Nuno Espiritu Santo was confident enough to name an unchanged side for the third time in succession, while Pep Guardiola tinkered a little, demoting Stones and de Jesus to the bench in favour of Kompany and Sterling. Sane and Mahrez were also on the support cast.
David Silva was looking for his 50th goal in his 251st match and, of course, Sergio Aguero was looking to increase his goals scored record.
