"Pep Guardiola has dropped Erling Haaland and Phil Foden to the bench for this afternoon's visit of Wolves to the Etihad Stadium, the manager selecting Marc Guehi to give the 20m defender a Manchester City debut. Excluding Haaland and Foden from the XI is a big deal and at the same time no massive surprise. Big because they are two of Guardiola's main acts but no great surprise because, as outlined here, they are each badly out of form."
"Bromley Smith, Samuel, Sowunmi, Cameron, Odutayo, Charles, Whitely, Krauhaus, Arthurs, Pinnock, Cheek. Subs: Long, Jenkinson, Thompson, Kabamba, Hondermarck, Ajayi, Ilunga. Swindon Ripley, Ball, Wright, Tafazolli, Wilson-Brown, Nichols, Borland, Kilkenny, Drinan, Palmer, Holman. Subs: Ward, Snowdon, Middlemas, Olakigbe, McGregor, Kirkman, Oldaker. Referee James Oldham (England) Share Hull Pandur, Coyle, Hughes, Egan, Famewo, Hadziahmetovic, Slater, Joseph, Gelhardt, Millar, McBurnie. Subs: Phillips, Lundstram,"
Pep Guardiola omitted Erling Haaland and Phil Foden from Manchester City's starting XI for the Wolves match and named Marc Guehi for a Manchester City debut. Both Haaland and Foden were described as being out of form, contributing to their exclusion. Rodri remained in the side despite being the poorest performer in the recent 3-1 defeat by Bodo/Glimt, with Nico Gonzalez unavailable through injury. Scott Parker kept the Burnley lineup that drew at Anfield. Thomas Frank introduced Micky van de Ven, Yves Bissouma and Conor Gallagher into the Spurs lineup. Multiple team lineups and substitutes across clubs were listed.
