Wolves
Wolves suffered a new blow during the international break, as Hwang Hee-chan hurt his ankle in South Korea's World Cup 2026 qualifier with Jordan and is now out for a couple of weeks at least.
Hwang joins knee victims Yerson Mosquera, Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez and Boubacar Traore in the medical bay, although O'Neil might finally have teenage defender Bastien Meupiyou available for selection.
Hwang's issue would not have impacted O'Neil's attacking selection either way; Jorgen Strand Larsen and Matheus Cunha - who could become just the third Premier League player to lose five consecutive games that he had scored in - will shoulder the offensive burden again.
Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup:
Johnstone; Semedo, S. Bueno, Toti, Ait-Nouri; Bellegarde, Lemina, Andre, Gomes, Cunha; Larsen
Manchester City
Prior to the international break, Guardiola was keeping his fingers crossed that both Kevin De Bruyne and Nathan Ake would be back fit for the trip to Wolves, but he has now conceded that the game may come too soon for both of them.
Ake might be in with a slim chance of making the cut, but Rodri is still on his long road to recovery from an ACL injury, while Oscar Bobb should not return from his leg fracture until December at the earliest.
Fresh from becoming Norway's record male goalscorer, Haaland endeavours to build on a record of eight goals from just four Premier League matches against Wolves, although only one of those strikes has come away from home.
Manchester City possible starting lineup:
Ederson; Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Gundogan; Silva, Foden, Doku; Haaland
Prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-4 Manchester City
