KATHMANDU: After netting 6 goals in their previous fixture against Huddersfield Manchester City are now eyeing third straight win as they travel to Molineux Stadium to face newly promoted Wolverhampton at 5:15 pm NST today.
The Wolves who have suffered back to back defeats in their opening two fixtures against 10-man-teams have a tougher fixture ahead as Guardiola’s City look fierce even after losing the talented midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.
Even if City have an upper hand with their squad-depth they can expect some fire power from the Wolves who have adopted an open style of play this season.
With the Spaniard singing praises of starting form of Benjamin Mendy, he will be adamant to give Mendy a start. While, Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez are also expected to get on the Playing XI as they were dropped to the bench in City’s earlier fixture.
With Sergio Aguero scoring thrice in the 6-1 thrashing of Huddersfield, he also might add up to early score tally today taking an early lead in the list of top scorers this season.
Provisional Man City XI: Man City: Ederson, Laporte, Stones, Kompany Mendy, Gundogan, Fernandinho, David Silva, Mahrez, Jesus, Aguero
Provisional Wolves XI: Wolves: Patricio, Dendoncker, Coady, Boly, Doherty, Moutinho, Neves, Jonny, Traore, Jota, Jimenez
