Manchester City team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers

Manchester City return to Premier League action on Saturday afternoon when they play host to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Having watched Chelsea slip up at West Ham United, City moved to the top of the standings with a 3-1 victory away at Watford last weekend.

However, Pep Guardiola watched his side succumb to defeat at RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Tuesday night, an occasion which saw two players needed to be withdrawn through injury.
