Manchester City hit the summer transfer window hard and early. By the time they arrived at Molineux for their first game of the Premier League season against Wolverhampton Wanderers, they were ready.
A 4-0 away win inspired by a sensational debut performance from Tijjani Reijnders was an ominous sight for City's title rivals and also for Tottenham Hotspur, City's first visitors to the Etihad Stadium in 2025-26.
Spurs started with a 3-0 win of their own. Under new manager Thomas Frank, they should be a different proposition for City.

Man City vs Spurs: Premier League preview
Man City sit at the top of the embryonic Premier League table thanks to a lightning start and Pep Guardiola will be determined to keep them there after a disappointing 2024-25.
He'll believe the club's owners have equipped him with a team capable of doing so. After recovering to finish third in the Premier League season, City quickly moved to bring in Reijnders, Rayan Cherki and Rayan Ait-Nouri.
With the likes of Omar Marmoush and Nico Gonzalez snapped up in the middle of last season and new summer signings swiftly sorted, City planned to hit the ground running this term and did exactly that.
Wolves shouldn't be pushovers this season but Spurs represent an altogether sterner test. Frank inherited a squad bound for the Champions League after winning the Europa League last season and has been armed with talented additions including Mohammed Kudus and Joao Palhinha.
The Spurs team that beat Burnley was without departed talisman Son Heung-min and injured attacking midfielder James Maddison, but it was the familiar figure of Richarlison who did the damage.
He scored Spurs' first two goals of 2025-26, both assisted by former West Ham United man Kudus, but looked likely to be moved on to make way for Eberechi Eze before Arsenal stole in to pick up the England international while Spurs were on hold.
Former Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou was in charge of a capable squad. They proved as much in Europe. Even with one or two changes, Frank's tactical approach should get more from them domestically.
With Brennan Johnson and Kudus flanking a striker, they should be able to create chances this season. Only Liverpool and Manchester United produced more shots on target last weekend.
In their second game of the season, Spurs will be up against the team with the best overall pass completion rate in the opening fixtures. Erling Haaland also scored twice, serving notice on a league that might just have forgotten about him ever so slightly last season.
City won the last meeting between these two teams but were beating 4-0 on their own turf last season as Postecoglou's Spurs ran roughshod over the champions, aided by an early two-goal lead in November.

FourFourTwo's prediction
Man City 2-0 Spurs
Spurs started in impressive fashion last weekend but arguably look a little light in midfield when it comes to tough away games against in-form title contenders already among the goals.
