As Manchester City travel to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers, the reigning Premier League champions are hoping to extend their impressive unbeaten run.
Wolves, meanwhile, are desperate to halt their freefall as they sit at the bottom of the table, struggling with a series of losses.
Wolves’ Recent Form
Wolves have endured a difficult run of games recently, with five consecutive defeats in all competitions and no Premier League win in their last ten outings.
Despite their ability to find the net consistently, their defensive fragility has been their undoing, with the side conceding 15 goals in their last five games.
Manchester City Recent Form
Manchester City have been in fine form, remaining unbeaten across all competitions since the season began. They most recently claimed a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Fulham before the International break.
Their ability to recover from early setbacks has been key, having won a league-high 10 points from losing positions so far this year.
Injury and Team News
Wolves will be missing Hwang Hee-chan, who suffered an ankle injury during the international break. He joins the likes of Yerson Mosquera, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Enso Gonzalez in the medical room.
Manchester City, meanwhile, remain without Kevin De Bruyne and Rodri due to long-term injuries. Nathan Ake is also a doubt for this match.

Wolves Player To Watch
Matheus Cunha will be crucial for Wolves’ attacking chances. Despite their poor form, Cunha has shown an eye for goal and will look to exploit any City defensive lapses…as limited as they will likely be.
Manchester City Player To Watch
Erling Haaland remains City’s primary threat, having already scored eight goals in just four matches against Wolves. Fresh from breaking Norway’s scoring record, he’ll be determined to add to his tally at Molineux.
