Manchester City
Manchester City’s seven-match winning streak across all competitions came to a halt, when they suffered a disappointing defeat against RB Leipzig in the Champions League days ago.
Nonetheless, their Premier League form is pretty impressive and they have won all of their five games.
The Citizens clinched the top spot after beating Watford 3-1 last week. Now, they would look to maintain their position by claiming all three points against Wolves on Saturday.
Bernardo Silva has been in terrific touch lately, with the Portuguese playmaker, netting 7 goals in 14 appearances.
Although Phil Foden suffered an injury against Leipzig in the midweek, he appears to be fit for Saturday’s clash.
Possible Manchester City line-up
Ederson; Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Joao Cancelo; Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne; Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling, Jack Grealish
Injured: Ferran Torres
Doubtful: Gabriel Jesus
Suspended: None
Wolves
Wolverhampton Wanderers are starting to lose their momentum in the Premier League, as they have managed only one win in their last five games.
They could have easily gone near the top-four of the table if not for the poor run of results in recent weeks.
Liverpool put a dagger in the Wolves’ heart after winning their last week’s Premier League game, with Divock Origi scoring a last-minute goal.
Another worrying fact is their goal drought, as they have managed only one goal in the last five games.
The attacking duo of Hwang Hee-Chan and Raul Jimenez, who have contributed to 9 goals altogether this season, would impose a greater threat to Man City’s defence.
Possible Wolves line-up
Jose Sa; Max Kilman, Conor Coady, Saiss; Nelson Semedo, Ruben Neves, Leander Dendoncker, Rayan Ait-Nouri; Adama Traore, Raul Jimenez, Hwang Hee-Chan
Injured: Willy Boly, Yerson Mosquera, Jonny and Pedro Neto
Doubtful: Rayan Ait-Nouri, Conor Coady
Suspended: None
Prediction
Man City 3 – 0 Wolves
