Man City injury, suspension news and return dates for Wolves clash: De Bruyne, Ake, Rodri, Bobb

Seeking to preserve their unbeaten start in the Premier League, Manchester City travel to Molineux to face basement club Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon.

The Citizens have won five and drawn two of their opening seven top-flight fixtures so far this season, most recently beating Fulham 3-2 on home soil prior to the international break.

Pep Guardiola's side currently sit second in the Premier League table and, at the time of writing, are level on points with third-placed Arsenal, while they are just one point behind early leaders Liverpool.

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