Match Officials: Jarred Gillett to referee Wolves vs Manchester City | OneFootball

The Premier League have confirmed the list of match officials to oversee proceedings between Wolves and Manchester City on matchday one of the new campaign.

Pep Guardiola and his players will be desperate to get their new season off to the perfect start as they face a tricky opening away encounter at Molineux off the back of their commitments at the FIFA Club World Cup earlier this summer and in pre-season.

The Etihad’s first-team squad took on an extended period of rest off the back of the tournament in the United States and their early exit at the hands of Al Hilal, before resuming match action with pre-season friendlies against Preston North End and Palermo.

Guardiola and his coaching staff will be hoping that the refresh over the summer and the new faces drafted into the squad by sporting director Hugo Viana will be enough to get an early three points in the bag and offer some optimism for the rest of the campaign.
