The weekend’s Premier League action kicked off at Molineux, where Wolves are not just entertaining Manchester City, but beating them! Wolves lead 1-0, courtesy of a slightly fortuitous Willy Boly strike on 57 minutes. The French defender appeared to head home, but replays show the ball went in off his hand. City are fuming, but have 30 minutes to save themselves. Today’s late game is at Anfield, where Liverpool entertain Brighton. Here’s what you can look forward to in between.
