​Premier League 2019/20 season
​Venue: Etihad Stadium
​Date: Sunday 6th October, 2019
​Kick-off time: 2pm BST

Manchester City are back in Premier League action this afternoon as Pep Guardiola's champions host Wolves at the Etihad.


City sit five points behind leaders Liverpool after seven games, and Guardiola knows by last season's tight title race that there is little room left for error if he is going to make it a hat-trick of League triumphs in England.

Wolves have had a difficult start after such a fine 2018-19 campaign as Nuno Espirito Santo's side sit 13th with one win from seven, with Europa League commitments taking their toll - and Man City look ready to take full advantage.


Man City vs Wolves team news


Kevin de Bruyne is out with a groin injury. Other than De Bruyne, Leroy Sane and Aymeric Laporte (both knee) are out. John Stones is also missing but expected back after the international break.

Raheem Sterling should return after being benched in the Champions League.

As for Wolves, Diogo Jota (ankle) is the only doubt.

Predicted line-ups
Man City XI: Ederson; Cancelo, Otamendi, Fernandinho, Mendy; Gundogan, Rodri, Silva; Bernardo, Aguero, Sterling



Wolves XI: Patricio, Boly, Coady, Saiss, Doherty, Dendoncker, Moutinho, Traore, Jimenez, Cutrone

Head to head (h2h) history and results
Man City just edge this fixture with 48 wins to Wolves' 47, along with 25 draws.
