Wolves vs Man City Team News
Wolves Defender Yerson Mosquera can be brought back into action after repairing a knee injury that kept him outside most of last season, but on Saturday a competitive debut should bring for his fellow countryman Jhon Arias.
The Colombian attacker played Fluminense at the Club World Cup this summer for his previous club and created more opportunities than any other player at the tournament, and Vitor Pereira will hope that he will be ready to act as the creative power in his side after former NO10 Cunha’s Exit.
New signature David Moller Wolfe could be set for his Premier League debut at Left Wing-Back, while Jorgen Strand Larsen is the first choice.
Man City will be without Savinho – coupled with a move to Tottenham – and midfielder Mateo Kovacic. Phil Foden is a doubt to appear, despite returning to training in the week.
Tijjani Reijnders and colleague -Summer signing Rayan Cherki could make their Premier League strikes, while Erling Haaland should lead the line, the only player who would occur in both halves versus Palermo.
Rayan Ait-Nouri has been impressed since his arrival of Wolves and should start again against his former club in the left.

Wolves vs Man City prediction
City’s short preseason and relatively bad road in 2024-25 makes this match a bit difficult to call.
Wolves, however, have won any of their six-friendly competitions this summer and may have trouble replacing the attacking threat that is worn by the deceased trio of Cunha, Ait-Nouri and Club Captain Nelson Semedo.
City won at home and gone against the old gold last season, with a margin of one goal every time. It can be another Cagey affair here, but Guardiola and Co should have enough for a different victory.
Head to Head (H2H) History and results
The general competitive head-to-head history between these two clubs is closer than younger football fans would expect; But when we look at recent results, things become much more one -sided.
Since recording three straight victories against City in 2019, Wolves have lost one of their last 10 meetings with the opponents of this weekend.
That only victory in the last five seasons came in September 2023 in Molineux, in a result the old gold will hope to repeat on Saturday evening.
