Wolverhampton Wanderers are back on home soil as they play host to Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Gary O’Neil’s side are without a win in their last three league outings and had their mood quashed further still on Tuesday as they were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Ipswich Town.
Wolves lost 3-2 despite being two goals up in that particular clash, displaying yet more poor game management when taking a lead. O’Neil will be hoping for better this weekend.
It goes without saying that it will be incredibly difficult to do so, however, as Pep Guardiola’s team are top of the Premier League standings after a perfect start of six wins out of six.
Here are the 11 players we think will start for what is likely to be the most tricky home fixture of the campaign, as well as individual explanations for each inclusion.
1. GK - Jose Sa
Comes back into the side after sitting out the Carabao Cup exit midweek.
2. RB - Nelson Semedo
Still ahead of Matt Doherty in the pecking order at right-back, it seems.
3. CB - Craig Dawson
Handed a rest for the cup and now has fresh legs to start once again.
4. CB - Max Kilman
The captain will be particularly eager to respond to a run of poor results.
