Bottom-placed Wolves will host defending champions Manchester City at the Molineux Stadium on Sunday, October 20.
It has been a tough start for Wolves, who sit at the bottom of the table with just one point from seven games and remain winless. Riddled with injuries, Wolves are coming into this game after an embarrassing defeat against Brentford.
Their task doesn’t get any easier against reigning champions Manchester City, who remain unbeaten and sit second in the table, just a point behind Liverpool.
Although City has shown some defensive vulnerabilities, their offense, led by Erling Haaland, has compensated for that on more than one occasion.

Pep Guardiola will be relieved as his players return from international duty unscathed. Defender Nathan Ake, who suffered an injury in a previous international break, has returned to practice.
City has struggled to keep a clean sheet this season, but Nathan Ake’s return will boost City’s defense. However, Kevin de Bruyne‘s availability is still uncertain as he missed City’s first training session after the break. Rodri is out of the season with an ACL injury, while Oscar Bobb will continue to be on the sidelines due to a muscle injury.
