Man City expects a recovered De Bruyne for Saturday, Man United has not given up on the Slovenian Sesko  - 1

In the camp of the English champion Manchester City hope that Belgian international Kevin De Bruyne will be available for the visit of Wolverhampton, BTA reported.

"The Citizens" will visit Wolverhampton on Sunday at 16:00 in a match of the eighth round of the Premier League.

De Bruyne has been out for the last month with a sprain.

The Manchester City manager said of the Belgian's injury that it was "not a big problem", although Kevin De Bruyne missed his country's final Nations League games after asking not to be called up in the composition in this period.

City occupy the second place in the provisional standings in the Premier League with 17 points, the same as third-placed Arsenal, and the leader is Liverpool with 18 points.

Manchester United tried to sign the RB Leipzig forward, but failed to do so last summer, and will therefore try to sign him in one of the next two transfer windows, writes Topsport.

Seško is off to a strong start to the season, with 6 goals and 3 assists in 9 games in all competitions so far.

That is why the "red devils" will try to take Šeško, writes "Daily Mail", so that the Slovenian can compete with Rasmus Heylund and Joshua Zirkzee.

Liverpool manager Arne Slott has enjoyed a good start to his stay at Anfield but says he is yet to face any of the top teams, although that will change on Sunday at Chelsea's visit, BTA reported.

The match of the eighth round of the Premier League will be played from 18:30 in Liverpool.

Dutchman Slott, the first Liverpool manager to win nine of his first ten games in charge, now faces the leaders in a busy ten-game schedule across three different tournaments. "Merseysiders" they have 18 points from seven Premier League games, scoring 13 goals and conceding just 2, sitting at the top of the provisional table a point ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal, while Chelsea are fourth with 14 points.

"I look at the standings and I'm like ``OK,'' but which teams have we met so far and what positions are they in? Are they in the top half or the bottom? There are many tough opponents we have yet to play. Let's see where they are when the goals conceded penalty kicks in, because maybe the program has been "good" for us", comments Arne Slott.

Chelsea have won all three of their away games so far this season with a combined score of 10:2.

Liverpool's upcoming run includes away to Arsenal on October 27, away to Manchester City on December 1, and starting goalkeeper Alisson is expected to miss much of that period. The Brazilian is nursing a sprain and is likely to be out until the game against Southampton on November 24 at the earliest.

Slot, however, is confident that the reserve guard - the Irish international Kevin Kelleher will be able to adequately replace the Brazilian international.

"Alisson is our absolute number 1," said the 46-year-old Dutch specialist.

"He's the best goalkeeper in the world, so it's always a blow when he's injured. But at almost every position, we have a second option, which is really good. Kelleher has already shown this," added Arne Slott.
