Manchester City will look to bounce back from dropped points against Wolves when they host Newcastle United on Saturday.
Pep Guardiola’s men needed a late equaliser from Aymeric Laporte to earn a point away at the newly promoted side.
They can consider themselves quite unlucky though, conceding to a handball and the champions also should have been awarded a second half penalty.
Newcastle United defended well for long periods at home to Chelsea, however conceded a late own goal to lose 2-1.
Eden Hazard and Joselu exchanged strikes, with DeAndre Yedlin’s late own goal the difference.
