Manchester City host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad Stadium this Saturday while they aim to end their longest winless run of the season.
The side has moved into a precarious position in the title race. They now trail leaders Arsenal by seven points after four league games without a victory. Manager Pep Guardiola faces a significant test of his squad’s depth. He must integrate a new signing while missing several established stars through injury. A win is essential to restore morale after consecutive defeats in the derby and Europe.
Manchester City Team News
Pep Guardiola manages a squad stretched by a series of defensive setbacks. Notably, Marc Guéhi is available to make his club debut following his arrival from Crystal Palace. He replaces the injured John Stones, Ruben Dias, and Josko Gvardiol in the matchday squad. Bernardo Silva is also back after missing the midweek trip to Norway through suspension.
Consequently, Guéhi is expected to partner Abdukodir Khusanov in a remodelled central defence. Gianluigi Donnarumma will continue in goal behind them. In midfield, Rodri will anchor the side despite recent struggles with match sharpness. Erling Haaland is expected to lead the attack. He enjoys a formidable record against Wolves, having scored 10 goals against them in past seasons. Antoine Semenyo and Jeremy Doku are likely to provide the width.
