In the loss to Leipzig, Manchester City lost both Nathan Ake and Phil Foden to injury, but both players are expected to be OK.
Aymeric Laporte and Gabriel Jesus are both now out with injuries, while Ferran Torres remains on the sidelines due to constant rumours linking him with a transfer to Barcelona.
Pep Guardiola’s options might include Ederson, Ruben Dias and Raheem Sterling in his starting line-up this week.
Wolves:
Meanwhile, the Wolves still miss Willy Boly, Yerson Mosquera, Jonny, and Pedro Neto and worry about Rayan Ait-Nouri and Conor Coady after the loss against Liverpool.
If Coady and Ait-Nouri are ruled out of this weekend’s game, Lage might find himself in a difficult situation at left-back while Fernando Marcal continues his recovery from COVID-19.
As a result, Hugo Bueno might get his first taste of the action on the left, but Lage will stick with the team that almost missed out on a draw against Liverpool.
Manchester City vs Wolves Probable Playing XI:
Manchester City possible starting lineup: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Cancelo; Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne; Silva, Sterling, Grealish
Wolves have struggled to find the back of the net in recent weeks, but they will be hoping that their new-found defensive solidity will shine against a Manchester City side without many key players.
There is no need for extra motivation for Guardiola’s star players, who are well-rested and ready to perform and maintain their place at the top; thus, professional performance and win for the home team are expected.
