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.

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.

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.

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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City: Head to Head:

Manchester City have a slight historical edge over Wolverhampton Wanderers and have won 52 out of the 126 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Wolves' 49 victories.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have managed only four victories against Manchester City in the Premier League but have managed to win three of these games at the Molineux.

Manchester City lost both their Premier League matches against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 2019-20 season but have since won four league games against them by an aggregate scoreline of 13-3.

Predicted Line-ups:

Wolverhampton Wanderers:
Sa; Jonny, Kilman, Collins, Ait-Nouri; Nunes, Neves, Moutinho; Neto, Jimenez, Podence
