Wolves XI vs Manchester City – Predicted lineup and team news

Wolves travel to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, aiming to preserve their unbeaten start to 2026.

Régis Le Bris’s side has moved off the bottom of the form table recently. They arrive in Manchester following a five-match unbeaten run across all competitions. While they remain bottom of the Premier League standings, their defensive resilience has improved significantly. Wolves have kept two clean sheets in their last three league outings. They now face perhaps their toughest test yet against an out-of-form City side.

Wolves Team News

Rob Edwards manages a squad that appears to be finding its rhythm under his guidance. Notably, the club has fended off interest for Jorgen Strand Larsen during the January window. The Norwegian striker remains a key part of the squad and travelled with the team. Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is nearing a return but will not be risked this weekend.

Consequently, José Sá will start in goal behind a defensive trio featuring Yerson Mosquera. Mosquera earned special praise for his performance against Newcastle and remains a vital figure. In midfield, Andre and Joao Gomes will provide energy and ball-winning qualities. They will look to support the emerging talent of Mateus Mané. Up front, Strand Larsen is expected to partner Hwang Hee-chan as Wolves look to exploit City’s defensive vulnerabilities.
