Wolves vs Man City: What You Need to Know This Saturday
Hey everyone, big news coming out of the Premier League as Wolves get ready to kick off their season against Manchester City at Molineux this Saturday evening. It’s going to be an emotional fixture, as it’s the first competitive game since the tragic passing of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. Fans have already been busy preparing heartfelt tributes, including a moving tifo in the South Bank and fan mosaics across the stand. Before the match even starts, there will be a minute’s applause as the players enter the pitch, and Diogo’s favorite song, Sting’s Fields of Gold , will play in his honor. Supporters are being asked to take their seats early if possible, to be part of this touching tribute.
For those heading to Molineux, tickets are still available for membership holders, and season ticket holders should remember to bring their smartcards. Print-at-home tickets can also be scanned from mobile devices at the turnstiles. Fans are reminded to get to the stadium on time because all standard security checks will be in place, and bags larger than A4 won’t be allowed.

The weather is looking fantastic, with sunny skies and temperatures around 26 degrees Celsius, so make sure to enjoy it. Travel is expected to be smooth, with no current rail or road disruptions reported, though it’s always wise to check for live updates before setting off. Road closures around Molineux will be enforced for safety, particularly on Waterloo Road, Molineux Street, Sir Jack Hayward Way, and Whitmore Hill, so keep that in mind if you’re driving.
Matchday experiences are being expanded this season. The Molineux Fan Zone opens at 12:30 pm with live music, food, and drinks, while the North Bank Bar opens at 3:30 pm for members and season ticket holders. Inside the stadium, food and drink kiosks will be serving a wide range of options, and the Molineux Megastore will be open before and after the match for all your Wolves gear needs.
On the Manchester City side, Pep Guardiola confirmed in his pre-match press conference that Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic won’t be available for the opener. Rodri and Phil Foden will travel with the squad, while Savinho and goalkeeper Ederson are currently injured. Guardiola was clear that the focus is on the squad at hand and that any departures will be communicated directly to him. He also expressed optimism about the team’s form this season, saying that signs from pre-season suggest they’ll be even stronger than last year.
Finally, Wolves’ matchday programme has been dedicated to the memory of Diogo Jota, featuring tributes, interviews, and reflections on his career. It’s a must-have for any supporter, and it’s available at the stadium and online.
So, whether you’re heading to Molineux or watching from home, this opening weekend promises passion, emotion, and top-level football. It’s a fixture that fans will remember for both the action on the pitch and the heartfelt tributes off it.
