TEAM NEWS

Manchester City

City will be without their star player Kevin De Bruyne for the next three months. The Belgian midfielder sustained a Lateral Collateral Ligament Lesion and is expected to be back for City’s fixture against Liverpool.

Claudio Bravo suffered an ACL and will be out for the rest of the season. City are on the lookout to sign a back-up for Ederson. Keylor Navas is on City’s radar but will Guardiola spend a fortune for a back-up keeper? Danilo suffered a foot injury which he picked during the World Cup, but the manager did declare that he’s been recovering well.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

A back injury will keep Ivan Cavaleiro out until September. Leander Dendonckner’s fitness is a major concern for Nuno Espirito Santo and Matt Doherty is expected to miss this fixture.
