Manchester City host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Cityzens suffered a 2-0 defeat at Manchester United in their last league fixture, before losing 3-1 to Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League.
Wolves played out a goalless draw against Newcastle United at Molinuex last weekend.
Match preview
City are seven points adrift of leaders Arsenal and cannot afford to drop more points.
Erling Bruit Haaland, who has scored just once in his last eight matches, needs to rediscover his form.
The presence of new signing Marc Guehi in defence is a boost to City’s title hopes.
The Cityzens have drawn their last two home games, but are expected to return to winning ways here.
The visitors have not lost any of their last four league fixtures. However, they are unlikely to maintain their top-flight status.
Wolves earned a point at Manchester United and Everton in their last two away games and will take encouragement from those performances.
Head-to-head
City have won nine of their 11 Premier League home meetings with Wolves, losing once and drawing once.
Team news
City will be without Savinho, Mateo Kovacic, John Stones, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and Oscar Bobb.
Matheus Nunes could recover in time to face his former side, while Guehi should make his debut.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Toti Gomes and Marshall Munetsi are all sidelined for the visitors.
Predicted line-ups
Man City (4-1-4-1): Gianluigi Donnarumma, Rico Lewis, Abdukodir Khusanov, Marc Guehi, Nathan Ake, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Rayan Cherki, Antoine Semenyo, Jeremy Doku, Erling Braut Haaland.
Wolves (3-5-2): Jose Sa, Yerson Mosquera, Santiago Bueno, Ladislav Krejci, Jackson Tchatchoua, Joao Gomes, Andre, Mateus Mane, Hugo Bueno, Hwang Hee-Chan, Tolu Arokodare.
Prediction
We fancy Man City to win 3-0.
