Bottom of the table Wolverhampton Wanderers host second placed Manchester City on Sunday. Wolves are yet to win a Premier League game this season with just one point earned from their seven fixtures. With 21 goals conceded in those matches, a long afternoon may be on the cards for them when hosting the Premier League champions. 13 of those 21 goals conceded have been scored against them in their last four matches. The pressure is on their coach Gary O'Neil and another heavy loss this Sunday could see him looking for a new job in the coming weeks.
With such a defensive record, now isn't perhaps the time to be taking on Erling Haaland and company. The Citizens now know that Pep Guardiola won't be leaving them for the England job and resume the season one point behind league leaders Liverpool. Can they go back to the top of the Premier League this weekend with a win at Wolverhampton Wanderers? Here's our match prediction.

Wolves - Manchester City: Form Analysis
Wolves beat Manchester City 2-1 at home in the Premier League last season. They'd give anything for a repeat of that victory this weekend. They were in terrible form before the international break and resume the season with one point and three from safety.
It's almost four because of their appalling -12 goal difference. This season has seen them lose all three of their home Premier League matches with ten goals being conceded. It's not been an easy fixture list though with Chelsea, Newcastle and Liverpool faced. Nine of Wolves' last 10 league games have been lost dating back to last season and they'll struggle to avoid another defeat here.
City are now unbeaten in 30 Premier League games.
Manchester City are unbeaten this season with five wins and two draws. They've now gone 30 league games without defeat and won 12 of their last 14 away fixtures. Erling Haaland has been in great form for them on the road and has scored six goals in his last four away Premier League matches.

Wolves & Manchester City Squad Analysis
Manchester City are hoping that Kevin De Bruyne and Nathan Ake will be fit for this weekend's trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers after missing recent matches. An international break is always a worrying time for Pep Guardiola with so many players in action for their countries. It seems that the Blues have survived any new problems and their only long-term injuries are Rodri and Oscar Bobb.
Injury problems aplenty for Wolves.
Wolves didn't get off so lucky though and Hwang Hee-chan is a major doubt for this Premier League game. He suffered an ankle injury playing for South Korea in their World Cup qualifying matches.
The home side have several other injury worries at present. Boubacar Traore, Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic and Yerson Mosquera are all going to be missing for this match. However, Bastien Meupiyou has recovered from his injury.
Wolves will be hoping for more goals from Matheus Cunha but the last four Premier League games he's scored in have all ended in defeat.
