Man City are still unbeaten in all competitions since the start of the new season. After two winless matches in the Premier League, The Citizens are one point behind leaders Liverpool and are above Arsenal on goal difference heading into Round 8. The Gunners' loss to Bournemouth in the early game will be the motivation for Man City to take all 3 points at Wolves.
If they avoid defeat against Wolves, Pep Guardiola's side will set a new club record of 31 unbeaten Premier League games. They have not lost a game in the competition since December 2023.
In stark contrast to City's form, the Molineux outfit are in crisis mode. They will host the reigning champions after a run of five defeats in all competitions and a run of 10 winless games in the Premier League.
Gary O'Neil's team have only 1 point after 7 rounds and have conceded 21 goals, the most in the league. Scoring is not a problem for Wolves, but they have conceded 15 goals in their last 5 defeats.
Last season, Wolves had a surprising 2-1 victory over Man City. But it will be difficult for the Wolves to repeat that achievement at the present time.
With a very weak defense, Wolves will have a hard time stopping the visitors, when they have top scorer Erling Haaland. The Norwegian striker has 10 goals in 7 matches and will be a dangerous explosive that Wolves need to be wary of.
Expected lineup
Wolves: Johnstone; Semedo, S. Bueno, Toti, Ait-Nouri; Bellegarde, Lemina, Andre, Gomes, Cunha; Larsen
Man City: Ederson; Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Gundogan; Silva, Foden, Doku; Haaland
