Manchester City will be hoping for another three points this Saturday before the international break as they travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

Rodri says Manchester City have lots to improve on despite another stirring comeback earning them a 4-2 win over Crystal Palace.
After a dreadful first half that saw them down by two goals, Bernardo Silva got Pep Guardiola's side back into the game before an Erling Haaland hat-trick completed a turnaround that the Blues are getting used to. City have now gone two goals behind in four of their last six league games dating back to last season, and lost none of them.
If the character and quality to recover is an admirable trait, City will not let themselves forget that they keep making life harder for themselves than it needs to be. Of particular concern is that both Palace goals came from dead ball situations when the team only conceded once like that in the whole of last season.

"We're very happy but we have to fix some things. We cannot let this team score two goals from nothing," said Rodri. "We have to watch out. We were talking that last season we conceded one goal from set-pieces for the whole of last season and now we have conceded two in one game. We have to improve in this.
"We started so badly. We know with these types of teams the key is to not concede because we know how the game is going to be so difficult with all of their players defending at the back.
"We conceded two goals but after that the positive is the mentality of the team not to drop. We showed last season that we can score three goals in five minutes and we came back with a good performance from lots of players - in particular Bernardo, Erling and Julian [Alvarez] - so a great three points."
