Manchester City will be looking to swiftly move on from their midweek EFL Cup third-round exit when they travel to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Citizens were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle United at St James' Park on Wednesday night, just their second defeat in their last 38 games in 90 minutes across all competitions.

Pep Guardiola is expected to recall a number of first-team stars for the trip to Wolves where they will endeavour to preserve their perfect start in this season's Premier League, although they will have to cope without a few key players this weekend.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up Man City's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the contest with Gary O'Neil's side.
