Gundogan slots a pass over to Cancelo who drills a swerving shot from range and forces another decent save out of Jose Sa.

He looks to shoot and Kilman sprints across to recover the ball. He steps in front of Jesus, wins the ball and Jesus goes down. City want a penalty but there’s not enough contact and play goes on.

15 mins: Cancelo, Bernardo and Sterling are causing big problems for Wolves from City’s right wing. Bernardo collects a pass from Cancelo and then transfers it up to Sterling on the right side of the box. Sterling fires a cross into the area hoping to pick of Jack Grealish but Saiss squeezes in front of him and heads it clear.

12 mins: Joao Cancelo has a cross headed out of the Wolves box and Rodri takes control of the ball over on City’s right wing. Traore chrages him down and shoulders the midfielder off the ball.

Raheem Sterling then attempts to hold off Romain Saiss as City work the ball down the line. There’s a tussle between the two men and Sterling goes to ground but referee Jon Moss lets play go on.

9 mins: Chance! Joao Cancelo threads a fine pass up to Bernardo Silva who’s drifted into the right side of Wolves’ box. He shifts to the left and curls a left-footed effort towards the far top corner but narrowly sends it wide of the post.

6 mins: Joao Cancelo loses possession just inside Wolves’ half and the visitors fly forward on the counter-attack. Raul Jimenez flicks a ball over the top for Adama Traore and he races Aymeric Laporte to the loose ball. Traore picks up the ball and waits for options to arrive in the box. He cuts it back to Ruben Neves who attempts to find Jimenez in the area but City manage to clear.

3 mins: Chance! City work the ball over to the inside right channel were Joao Cancelo drives up the pitch and flicks a nice pass into the box. Raheem Sterling darts in between Conor Coady and Romain Saiss, recovers the ball and prods a soft shot straight at Jose Sa who’s left with an easy save.

Kick off: Both teams take the knee before Wolves get the match started. They work the ball down the left wing but knock it out of play. Manchester City take over and the visitors immediately drop a little deeper.

Conor Coady leads out Wolves. The visitors sit eighth in the Premier League but could jump up as high as sixth if they manage to defeat the Premier League champions today.

Ilkay Gundogan leads out Manchester City. If they pick up three points they’ll remain top of the table.

Wolves boss Bruno Lage says he could imagine Raul Jimenez playing for Manchester City and has described the Mexican as “one of the best players in the world”.

Jimenez joined Wolves initially on loan from Benfica in 2018 before making the move permanent a year later.

The 30-year-old has scored 51 goals to date for the midlands outfit, including three this season after returning to action at the start of the campaign following a career-threatening fractured skull suffered in November 2020.
