Team news
City
Guardiola revealed in his press conference that Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany could be back for Manchester City when Wolves visit the Etihad on Monday.
Benjamin Mendy and Claudio Bravo remain long-term absentees.
Wolves
Wolves have no new injury concerns and are likely to welcome back their best players after the FA Cup win over Liverpool saw them rest a number of first-team stars.
Diogo Jota returned from a hamstring injury in that game and he is likely to be involved at the Etihad.
The Last Time
The two sides last met in August at Molineux, playing out a 1-1 draw as Aymeric Laporte cancelled out Willy Boly’s controversial opener.

Pep’s preview
“We realised in the first game how complicated they would be.
“They are strong physically, make good runs in counter-attack. They defend well and deep, they control many areas.
“That is why they are doing incredibly well in the Premier League.”
