Manchester City are yet to lose in the Premier League this season and boast a win ratio of 71%, while hosts Wolves have lost 86% of their league games and are yet to win a single match so far.

Pep Guardiola’s side are averaging 2.43 points per game right now and they go up against a Wolves side that are only averaging 0.14 points per game, which only highlights the contrasting starts both teams have made to the season.

Erling Haaland tops the Premier League goalscorer chart this season with 10 goals. The Norwegian goal-machine has two Premier League hat tricks to his name already this season from his 22 shots on target.

Haaland not only has a lot of shots he also boasts an excellent 64.7% shots on target rate which is the second highest in the Man City squad. With an xG of 6.50 from his seven league starts, you can see why we’ve backed Haaland to score anytime this Sunday.

Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone is bound to have his work cut out for him this weekend when he goes up against the best striker the Premier League has to offer.

Johnstone has started five of Wolves’ seven league games this season, making 19 saves from 32 opposition shots on target, which works out at a save percentage of 65.6%.

Nobody has made more tackles for Wolves this season than Joao Gomes (24) and he along with fellow midfielder Mario Lamina play a key role in winning back the ball for Wolves as well as breaking up opposition attacks.

However, Gomes has also given away more fouls than any other Wolves player (17) by some distance so you can see why we’re backing the Wolves’ Brazilian midfielder to commit at least two fouls on Sunday.

Other than Erling Haaland, no Man City player has had more shots on target in the Premier League this season than defender Josko Gvardiol. The Croatian has had nine shots in the 2024/25 Premier League campaign so far with five hitting the target for a shot on target ratio of 55.6%.

We know that Gvardiol likes to get forward when playing at full-back and in a game against the division’s bottom club, we’re expecting the Croatian to find plenty shooting positions.

We’ve already mentioned Joao Gomes above, as we expect him to commit a few fouls on Sunday against Manchester City, but there is also a very good chance that the Wolves man will pick up another yellow card in the process.

Along with Rayan Ait-Nouri and Nelson Semedo, Joao Gomes has picked up the most yellow cards for Wolves this season (3). That isn’t a surprising stat when you consider that Gomes has given away more fouls that any other Wolves player (17) and has attempted the most tackles as well (24).

Manchester City stand a great chance of opening the scoring in the first half against their struggling guests as Pep Guardiola’s side have taken then lead in four of their seven Premier League games so far this season. Wolves, on the other hand, have conceded the first goal in five of their seven outings.

Sunday’s guests have lead at the interval in 71% of their league games this season which doesn’t bode well for Wolves who have trailed at the break in 43% of their matches. The worst news of all for the Wolves faithful is that when taking the lead, Man City have only conceded three equalising goals this season and boast a lead defending rate of 62%.

Only two of Wolves’ seven outings in the Premier League this season have featured over 4.5 goals and while they go up against a strong attacking side in the form of Manchester City this weekend, we’re not predicting a goalfest.

The Citizens have only been involved in two league games this season that have witnessed five or more goals. Historically this fixture has not been great for goals either, with only two of their last six meetings with Wolves in the Premier League producing over 4.5 goals.
