Manchester City return to Premier League duties this afternoon following the latest international break as they travel to take on winless Wolves.
Pep Guardiola’s side remain unbeaten so far this season but two consecutive draws before their 3-2 comeback win over Fulham last time out saw them overtaken by in-form Liverpool at the top-flight summit.
Still, the champions will no doubt be heavy favourites against a Wolves side still without a win in the league this season and recently thrashed by Brentford 5-3 as the pressure grows on under-fire manager Gary O’Neil.
With Liverpool hosting Chelsea later and Arsenal already losing to Bournemouth this weekend, today could present a strong chance for City to reaffirm their title credentials.

Wolves vs Man City is scheduled for a 2pm BST kick-off time today on Sunday October 20, 2024.

Wolves vs Man City team news
Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traore, Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic and Hwang Hee-chan are all set to miss the game for Wolves as O’Neil deals with a mounting injury crisis, though youngster Bastien Meupiyou is back in contention.
City, meanwhile, will remain without Kevin De Bruyne due to his groin problem, though Nathan Ake could be involved in the squad after returning to training following a hamstring injury suffered on international duty with the Netherlands last month. He is not ready to start, however. Rodri and Oscar Bobb are long-term absentees.
Wolves vs Man City prediction
Wolves beat City 2-1 at Molineux early last season but it’s incredibly difficult to see it happening again here given the respective form of the two sides so far this term.
Man City to win, 3-0.
