Wolves predicted lineup vs Man City - Premier League
By Max Parsons
Wolves face a daunting task on Saturday afternoon, as they travel to Manchester City in a bid to overcome some rocky recent form.
Bruno Lage's side had looked to be building good momentum after a turbulent start to the 45-year-old's reign, although have now gone three Premier League matches without a win.
After rising to sixth in the table, 0-0 draws with Norwich and Burnley before losing 1-0 to Liverpool have seen the side drop to eighth - although still in touch with the European spots.
To keep the pressure on, however, they'll have to beat Manchester City who currently sit top of the table following a run of five consecutive Premier League victories.
Here's who Lage could field to try and do that.
1. Goalkeeper & defenders
Jose Sa (GK) - Enjoying a great individual spell amid his team's rough patch, having let in just one goal in his previous four league outings.
Max Kilman (CB) - Developing into some player, Kilman keeps on impressing for Wolves and can't be too far away from an England call.
Conor Coady (CB) - Expected to overcome a minor knock in time.
Romain Saiss (CB) - Will certainly complete an unchanged back line - that has proved so effective in recent weeks - for the trip to the Etihad.
2. Wing-backs & midfielders
Nelson Semedo (RWB) - So clearly capable of producing quality; everyone just wishes he would.
Ruben Neves (CM) - A key component at the heart of Lage's side, Neves will undoubtedly start in midfield - although will do well to pick apart his opposition on Saturday.
Joao Moutinho (CM) - Failed to start in the Premier League for the first time this campaign against Liverpool but will surely be restored to the XI here.
Rayan Ait-Nouri (LWB) - Was a minor concern following Wolves' last outing but should be fit to feature on Saturday.
3. Forwards
Francisco Trincao (RW) - Just when Adama Traore looks to be hitting some form, he flops for his side. His poor showing against Liverpool could leave the door open for Trincao.
Raul Jimenez (ST) - Struggled last time out and, in truth, Saturday won't be much easier.
Hwang Hee-Chan (LW) - To be honest, this front three will do well to get much change out of Rodri and City's staunch defence on the counter.
