Manchester City made a mistake in the Premier League for the first time this season before the Champions League duel with RB Leipzig. The English champions lost 1:2 (0:1) at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, but remain top of the table for the time being. Coach Pep Guardiola sat in the stands with a yellow card. On Wednesday (9 p.m.) the “Citizens” will be playing in the premier class in Leipzig.

An own goal from City defense chief Rúben Dias (13th) and a goal from former Leipzig player Hwang Hee-Chan (66th) caused the second City setback within a few days. On Wednesday the club lost 1-0 at Newcastle United in the League Cup. The interim 1-1 by world champion Julián Álvarez was not enough (58th).
Meanwhile, national player Kai Havertz scored for his new team for the first time in the league in Arsenal FC’s 4-0 (2-0) win at AFC Bournemouth. The offensive player made it 3-0 for the runner-up with a penalty kick in the 53rd minute – coach Mikel Arteta had promised him support during the week. The other goals for the “Gunners” were scored by Bukayo Saka (17th), Martin Ødegaard (44th) and Ben White (90th + 3). Arsenal were able to reduce the gap to Manchester City to one point.
Meanwhile, record champions Manchester United remain in crisis. Bayern Munich’s group opponents in the Champions League lost 0-1 (0-1) to Crystal Palace and are only in midfield. Without national player Pascal Groß, who is still ailing, Brighton & Hove Albion lost clearly 1:6 (0:3) at Aston Villa. Ollie Watkins scored three times (14th/21st/65th).
