📰 Team News: Wolves
Enso González (Cruciate ligament tear), Sasa Kalajdzic (Cruciate ligament tear), Boubacar Traoré (Meniscus injury), Bastien Meupiyou (Meniscus damage) and Hee-chan Hwang (Ankle injury) will not be taking part for Wolves boss Gary O'Neil.
We are thinking that Wolves may well go for a 3-5-2 formation this time with Jose Sa, Santiago Bueno, Craig Dawson, Toti Gomes, Nelson Semedo, Mario Lemina, Andre, Joao Gomes, Rayan Ait Nouri, J. Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha.
📋 Team News: Manchester City
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has to currently contend with reduced team options. Kevin De Bruyne (Hamstring muscle injury), Rodri (Cruciate ligament tear) and Oscar Bobb (Broken leg) are not able to play.
We believe The Citizens seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, settling for Ederson Moraes, Rico Lewis, John Stones, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic, Ilkay Gundogan, Savinho, Bernardo Silva, Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland.
💡 Prediction
We envisage that Wolverhampton Wanderers have the ability to breach the defence of this Manchester City team, however a single goal is unlikely to prevent defeat.
Therefore, we think that it’s going to be a 1-2 win for Manchester City by the conclusion of the game. Should be a good one.
