City will skip the opening weekend of the Premier League season after being permitted to sit out the first weekend because of their late finish to the 2019/20 season due to their Champions League exertions.
City will instead feature just twice in the Premier League in September – the trip to Wolves followed by their first home match of the season against Leicester.
