Latest team news for Wolverhampton vs Man City
Ahead of the international break, Guardiola hoped both Kevin De Bruyne and Nathan Ake would be fit in time for the trip to Wolves, and fans are eagerly awaiting news from the Man City manager.
The return of De Bruyne and Ake will leave the visitors short of just two players, as Rodri is still recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury, and Oscar Bobb will not return until December.
Haaland, who recently became Norway's top scorer, hopes to maintain his impressive form of eight goals in four Premier League games against Wolves, although only one of those goals was scored away from home.
While Manchester City's injury situation is relatively positive, Wolves suffered a new blow during the international break when Hwang Hee-chan sustained an ankle injury in their 2026 World Cup qualifying match against Jordan. Hwang joins other players with knee injuries such as Yerson Mosquera, Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, and Boubacar Traore. However, manager O'Neil may have the services of young defender Bastien Meupiyou.
Hwang's problem won't affect O'Neil's attacking choices; Jorgen Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha, who could become the third consecutive Premier League player to lose five games after scoring, will continue to shoulder the goalscoring burden.
Latest predicted lineups for Wolverhampton vs Man City
Wolverhampton Wanderers:

Manchester City:
Ederson; Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Gundogan; Silva, Foden, Doku; Haaland
Latest football match prediction: Wolverhampton vs Man City
Never one to escape off-field headlines, Man City endured a turbulent international period. Pep Guardiola and speculation surrounding his potential England managerial move intensified before Thomas Tuchel took over at Wembley. Influential director Txiki Begiristain also announced his departure, while City and the Premier League won the battle over APT regulations.
On the pitch, the reigning Premier League champions remain unbeaten this season, despite a tough match against Fulham, who surprisingly took an early lead at the Etihad with Andreas Pereira's opening goal. However, Mateo Kovacic and Jeremy Doku helped Man City turn the game around, although Rodrigo Muniz pulled one back, but it wasn't enough for the Cottagers to salvage a victory.
This victory keeps Man City one point clear of league leaders Liverpool and also maintains their position level with Arsenal on goal difference. Arsenal could overtake both rivals in the title race if they beat Bournemouth on Saturday. Guardiola's players are highly motivated to avoid defeat at West Midlands on Sunday; a win of at least one point would see them set a new record of 31 consecutive Premier League games without a loss.
Meanwhile, Wolves are in dire straits, languishing at the bottom of the table, greeted by the champions with a run of five consecutive defeats and ten winless matches in the Premier League. Despite a decent attack with eight games scoring, Gary O'Neil's side have conceded 15 goals in their last five losses.
If Man City manage to set a record for unbeaten run this weekend, Wolves risk losing their first four home games in history. Manager O'Neil led Wolves to a surprise 2-1 victory over Man City last season, but the team has lost seven of the last eight matches between the two sides, including a 5-1 defeat in May where Erling Haaland scored four goals.
Although Wolves may be sharp in attack, their weak defense could cost them a painful defeat at home against champions Guardiola.
