Match Facts
Having done the Premier League double over Manchester City in 2019-20, Wolves have now lost their last six against the Citizens by an aggregate score of 19-3.
Manchester City have won their last three Premier League away games against Wolves, as many victories as they'd picked up in their previous 12 league visits to Molineux (D2 L7).
Having lost both of their Premier League games at Molineux this season (1-4 v Brighton, 1-3 v Liverpool), Wolves could lose each of their opening three home games in a league campaign for only the third time, after 1986-87 (fourth tier) and 2021-22 (Premier League).
The only team with a 100% win rate in the 2023-24 Premier League, Manchester City are looking to become only the third side to win each of their opening seven matches in a season in the competition, after Chelsea in 2005-06 (first 9) and Liverpool in 2019-20 (first 8), both of whom would go on to lift the title. It’s a feat the Citizens themselves have never previously achieved in the top-flight, having only done so in any league campaign in 1897-98 in the second tier (first 7).
Manchester City have won 71 points in the Premier League in 2023, 16 more than any other side (W23 D2 L3) and 39 more than opponents Wolves have (32). They have also netted the most goals (66) and conceded the fewest (20) of any ever-present side.
Since the start of last season, Wolves have received more red cards than any other Premier League side (8), with Jean-Ricner Bellegarde against Luton the seventh different player to see red for them in that time, along with Nathan Collins, Diego Costa, Nélson Semedo, Mario Lemina, Matheus Nunes (twice) and Jonny Otto.
Manchester City were reduced to 10 men just 26 seconds into the second half of their last Premier League game, a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest. In that second half, City completed just 82 passes, their fewest in a half of league football since September 2013 against Man Utd (76 in the second half), and the second-fewest ever recorded by a Pep Guardiola team in a single half of top-flight league football, only ahead of the 73 managed by Barcelona in the first half against Málaga in November 2008.
Man City boss Pep Guardiola has won 40 of his last 44 Premier League matches against English managers (D3 L1), including each of the last nine in a row, one of which was a 4-1 victory over Gary O’Neil’s Bournemouth in February.
Rodri will miss this game for Man City due to suspension. Since the start of the 2019-20 campaign, City have lost four of the 14 Premier League games he has missed (W9 D1), with the Spaniard leading the charts for completed passes in the division this season (616).
Pedro Neto has either scored or assisted in each of Wolves’ last four Premier League matches (1 goal, 4 assists). Only two players have been involved in at least one goal in five Premier League appearances in a row for Wolves – Henri Camara (March – May 2004, 7) and Steven Fletcher (May – August 2011, 5).
