  • PRVW
    Players take the knee before the whistle!
  • PRVW
    Players are out of the tunnels!!!! We are minutes away from kick off!!!
  • PRVW
    Here's how Man City line up: Ederson, Lewis, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Gundogan, Silva, Savinho, Doku, Haaland.
  • PRVW
    We have the visitors' starting 11 too!!!!!!!!!!
  • PRVW
    Here's how Wolves line up: Sa, Semedo, Bueno, Dawson, Toti, Ait Nouri, Lemina, Andre, Gomes Cunha, Larsen.
  • PRVW
    The hosts have dropped their lineupppppppppp!!!!
  • PRVW
    From their last five meetings, Man City have claimed victory four times. While Wolves bagged the three points in last year's game at the Molineux. Will Wolves make it back-to-back wins against City at home?
  • PRVW
    Chris Kavanagh is in the middle for this one, while Stuart Attwell is on VAR duty.
  • PRVW
    Man City possbile lineup (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Gundogan; Silva, Foden, Grealish; Haaland.
  • PRVW
    Wolves possible line up (4-5-1): Johnstone; Semedo, Dawson, Toti, Ait Nouri; Bellegarde, Lemina, Andre, Gomes Cunha; Larsen.
  • PRVW
    With that all said, let's have a look at the possibel lineups!!!
  • PRVW
    For Man City, Nathan Ake and Kevin De Bruyne look set to sit out the clash after their respective injuries during the October international break. Rodri is a long-term absentee after tearing his ACL in September, while Oscar Bobb is unlikely to see minutes again in 2024 after breaking his leg in pre-season.
  • PRVW
    Yerson Mosquera, Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez and Boubacar Traore are also all unavaible to O'Neil due to injury.
  • PRVW
    Wolves' task to claim a win was certainly not made easy as the team suffered various set backs. Striker Hwang Hee-chan picked up an ankle injury on international duty and could be out a couple of weeks.
  • PRVW
    Let's have a look at the players who are unavailable/a doubt for the clash before we get into the possible lineups!
  • PRVW
    Meanwhile, City continue will look to continue fine start to the 2024/2025 season. Following Arsenal's dramatic defeat yesterday, they are the only unbeaten team left in the Prem. They also have the opportunity to distant themselves from the Gunners heading into the game. Will Pep claim another victory, or could the underdogs crush Man City's hopes to claim the lead of the table?
  • PRVW
    The hosts will hope to stun City with a shock-win like Bournemouth did against Arsenal yesterday afternoon. The Wanderers desperately need points as fears of relegation loom ahead. They are yet to register a win this season, but could they claim an unexpected first victory against the Citizens today?
  • PRVW
    Before players headed off to their own respective national sides, we left off with Man City in joint-second place with Arsenal, and just one point behind Premier League-leaders Liverpool. On the other hand, Wolves are in the midst of a miserable season as they sit in 19th.
  • PRVW
    The running champions are finally back to Premier League action after the end of the international break!!!
