Goal Scorer:
Manchester City
Ederson Moraes is likely to miss out with a shoulder injury. Apart from that, Manchester City have a fully-fit squad to choose from. They are likely to shape up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Stefan Ortega in goal. In the back three, Kyle Walker will start alongside Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol.
Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish will start in the wide areas. They will look to help out in the attack and provide cover to the central defenders. Rodri will start in the central midfield berths alongside John Stones. The Spaniard will look to control the game from the deep, and Stones will look to break up opposition attacks.
Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne will start as the attacking midfielders, and they will look to open up the Wolves defence with their creativity and vision. Finally, Erling Haaland will lead the line for Manchester City against Wolves.
Probable Lineup (3-4-2-1): Ortega; Walker, Dias, Gvardiol; Doku, Rodri, Stones, Grealish; Silva, De Bruyne; Haaland
Wolves
Craig Dawson is ruled out with a groin injury. Pedro Neto is on his way back from his issue, but he might not be risked here. Wolves are likely to shape up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, with Jose Sa in goal.
Nelson Semedo and Matt Doherty will start as the full-backs. They will look to cover the central defenders and help out during counter-attacking situations. Max Kilman will start at the heart of the defence alongside Toti Gomes.
Boubacar Traore will start as the defensive midfielder, and he will look to shield the back for and win the ball back for his side. Hwang Hee-chan and Rayan Ait-Nouri will start in the wide areas. They will look to help out in the attack and provide additional defensive cover from the flanks.
Mario Lemina and Joao Gomes will start as the advanced central midfielders here. They will look to add creativity and control to the side in the middle of the park. Matheus Cunha will lead the line for Wolves.
Probable Lineup (4-1-4-1): Sa; Semedo, Kilman, Toti Gomes, Doherty; Traore; Hwang, Joao Gomes, Lemina, Ait-Nouri; Cunha
