Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City: Match Preview:

Pep Guardiola's team might have shown signs of weakness at the back, although the signing of Erling Haaland has given them a new dimension. Far from their best against Borussia Dortmund earlier this week, the forward powered in a late winner to remind everyone: City don't need to play well to win anymore.

We can't host Man City without a rewatch of this classic.

Wolves, meanwhile, have played better than their results would suggest but look short on goals. While a dangerous side with a huge amount of technical ability, things are looking a little blunt.

Team News:

Wolverhampton Wanderers:

Wolves new boy Kalajdzic is not the only player set for a long spell out of action, as Chiquinho went under the knife for his knee problem earlier in the summer and is facing several months on the sidelines.

Coming 🔜 to Molineux.

Jimenez was a notable absentee from the showdown with Southampton, but he will likely be in the squad here after reports claimed that he was in with a strong chance of returning for the postponed clash with Liverpool.

Nevertheless, Costa ought to be ready to make his debut for Lage's side against the reigning champions, although Hwang Hee-chan is waiting in the wings in case the 33-year-old needs more time to get up to speed.

Manchester City:

The visitors also remain rather fortunate on the injury front, and Aymeric Laporte – who suffered his knee injury at Molineux last season – should be back in action after the international break following his return to training.

PEP 💬 Maybe the people who know me know the influence of Cruyff in my life as a person, mentor and manager. Years ago he scored in Camp Nou and scored a goal v Atleti, it was quite similar to Haaland and the moment he scored it I felt Cruyff, it was quite similar.#ManCity pic.twitter.com/ER1VFoIWHn

Laporte will miss this game, though, while the quick turnaround time also makes it difficult to picture Kyle Walker making himself available, but Guardiola should ring the changes either way.

Ruben Dias will expect to return to the backline for City, who also have Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva ready to return to the forward line, with Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez seemingly set to make way.
