Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are set to welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday in their next Premier League fixture. The Sky Blues are coming into this game after losing to RB Leipzig 1-2 midweek in their last UEFA Champions League group stage match. City’s loss at the hands of the German club also ended their seven-game unbeaten streak and they will look to go back to winning ways with this fixture.
Wolves, meanwhile, were undone by Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool, courtesy of a later winner by Divock Origi, the previous weekend at Molineux. Prior to the Liverpool game, they were held for goalless draws by Burnley and Norwich City respectively.
The Premier League match between Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers is slated to begin at 06:00 pm (IST).
