Manchester City:

Manchester City return from the international break looking to extend their unbeaten run to a record 31 consecutive Premier League matches when they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers. Pep Guardiola's side showcased their resilience in a 3-2 victory over Fulham two weeks ago, bouncing back after an early goal from Andreas Pereira. Key contributions from Mateo Kovacic and Jeremy Doku sealed the win, keeping City just one point behind Liverpool in the table. With the chance to temporarily leapfrog their rivals into first place, City will be motivated to avoid any slip-ups. Erling Haaland, who netted four times in their 5-1 victory over Wolves last May, will be central to their efforts as the champions aim to maintain their pursuit of another title.


Wolves:

Wolves have endured a miserable start to the season, sitting bottom of the Premier League with just one point and on the back of five straight defeats. Despite scoring three goals in their 5-3 loss to Brentford before the break, their defensive frailties have been exposed repeatedly, with 15 goals conceded in their last five matches. However, Gary O'Neil's men have been consistent in attack, scoring in eight consecutive games since the opening day. While Wolves managed a surprise 2-1 win against City at Molineux last season, replicating that success against the reigning champions seems a tall order given their current struggles.
