📰 Team News: Wolves

Chiquinho (Cruciate Ligament Injury) and Sasa Kalajdzic (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will not be taking part for Wolves gaffer Bruno Lage.

In our view, Wolves should opt for a 4-3-3 system, utilising Jose Sa, Jonny, Nathan Collins, Max Kilman, Rayan Ait Nouri, Matheus Nunes, Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, Pedro Neto, Daniel Podence and Goncalo Guedes.

📰 Team News: Manchester City

In an otherwise available group of players, there’s just the lone fitness issue for the Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola to contend with. Aymeric Laporte (Knee Surgery) misses out for this game.

There’s a good chance that The Citizens appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-3-3 system, going with Ederson Moraes, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, Joao Cancelo, Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Phil Foden, Erling Braut Haaland and Jack Grealish.

🧠 Prediction

Our thinking is that Wolverhampton Wanderers have the firepower to breach the defence of this Manchester City side, but one goal possibly won’t quite prevent defeat.

We’re therefore expecting a narrow 1-2 win for Manchester City when all is said and done. It’s a very tough call.
