Manchester City return to Premier League action this weekend as they take on bogey side Wolves in the Black Country.
Wolves dealt Manchester City their first defeat of last season in a game when they were without crucial midfielder Rodri, as they will be this time.
However, Wolves are now without star forward Pedro Neto, who was fantastic in the win, and have been on a dire run of form for months.
Gary O’Neil’s side sit bottom of the Premier League table with just one point and the pressure is mounting on the manager.
Pep Guardiola, meanwhile, will be wanting his team to start getting to their best after a sluggish start to the new campaign.
Here’s everything you need to know about the fixture.

Wolves vs Man City team news
Guardiola has confirmed Kevin De Bruyne and Nathan Ake will not be ready to play against Wolves, though there’s a chance the Dutch defender might make the trip to the Midlands.
“I don’t think so,” the manager said when asked if they could play. “No [setbacks] but not ready.
“They are training, they are in the last part. Yesterday, Nathan had his first training with the team, so maybe he can travel. But I think to start, he’s not ready.”
Some of City’s international stars didn’t return for their first training session back until Friday so Guardiola said they would be assessed before deciding if they’re ready to play.
He added: “Some of them, the Brazilians, yesterday was their day off, Manu [Akanji], today and tomorrow we’ll know exactly.”
Rodri and Oscar Bobb remain long-term absentees.
Wolves, meanwhile, will be without Hee-chan Hwang, Sasa Kalajdzic, Boubacara Traore, Enso Gonzalez, Bastien Meupiyou and Yerson Mosquera.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Manchester City prediction
City may have struggled at Molineux just over a year ago but they should have no such issues this time around.
Wolves have lost their best players and are a team lacking quality and confidence. Even a City side missing key players and not yet firing on all cylinders should be capable of blowing them away.
Prediction: Wolves 0-3 Manchester City.
