Upset of the weekend: Manchester City v Wolves
Wolves bounced back well from their opening-day defeat to West Ham - when they didn't even play that badly - with victory at Wigan. They will head to Eastlands on a high, with nothing to lose.
Mick McCarthy's side will be well up for Saturday, as most teams will be when they visit City this season - that is the inevitable consequence of having spent so much this summer - and with the absence of any pressure, they will be able to express themselves on the pitch.
Conversely, City will be under huge pressure in their first home game of the season and have a great deal more to lose. After a good start to the new season, which has seen them beat Blackburn and then Barcelona in a friendly, their fans will expect nothing less than a convincing win over newly-promoted opposition.
That could work against Mark Hughes's men and I think there is potential for a real upset at the City of Manchester Stadium.
