Pep Guardiola aims dig at Chelsea ahead of weekend clash at Etihad
Following Manchester City's emphatic 6-0 demolition of Ipswich Town last Sunday, Pep Guardiola could not resist a cheeky post-match comment about Chelsea, sparking plenty of chatter among fans.
As it happened
Chelsea made five changes from their 2-2 draw with Bournemouth last Tuesday, with Reece James making his first Premier League start this year and Cole Palmer passing a late fitness.
Wolves made three changes from their 3-0 defeat at Newcastle on Wednesday. Captain Nelson Semedo returned as right wingback, and Matheus Cunha and Pablo Sarabia also started.
The host dominated the proceedings as expected and just 20 minutes into the game, a deflected shot from James dropped at the feet of Tosin Adarabioyo, who poked home from close range.
However, Chelsea’s momentum dropped after the goal, giving the visitors the chance to pile pressure on them.

Their persistence paid off after Robert Sanchez failed to handle a corner kick that fell into Matt Doherty’s path and he sent the ball into the net just at the stroke of halftime.
Chelsea came alive in the second half and scored back-to-back goals from Marc Cucurella and Noni Madueke to take the lead.
The Blues continued to dominate the game and created many more chances but were unable to add to the scoreline, with the game ending in a victory for Enzo Maresca's side.
