Team News

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola has confirmed Ruben Dias, John Stones and Kyle Walker will miss Manchester City’s final three games with injury. The squad remains wary of the important fixtures ahead and would hope to steer clear of conceiving any other injury concerns.

Pep Guardiola will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation with several tweaks from the last game as Phil Foden looks likely to make his way back into the starting eleven.

Wolves

Wolves remain without right-back Nelson Semedo and centre-back Max Kilman, while forward Daniel Podence is doubtful.

Chiquinho came off the bench against Chelsea and provided two assists as they fought back to secure a point, so he could feature again, although likely from the bench.
