City and Wolves meet for the first time in the Football League.

Wolves had eleven years of top-flight experience on City before the two clubs even shared a pitch.
Manchester City, freshly promoted to the First Division, faced Wolverhampton Wanderers in league competition for the first time during the 1899-1900 season. Wolves had been founding members of the Football League in 1888 and were well established in the top flight. City, who had only adopted their current name in 1894 after reforming from Ardwick AFC, were the newcomers. The fixture was set from the start: two clubs from the industrial heartlands of England, separated by roughly 80 miles of Midlands countryside.
