Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Manchester City could line up for Saturday's Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Manchester City have been handed two additional fitness concerns ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad Stadium.

Phil Foden and Nathan Ake both had to be withdrawn in the midweek Champions League defeat to RB Leipzig with ankle and back issues respectively, but neither player is expected to face a significant spell on the sidelines.

Pep Guardiola is also sweating over the fitness of Gabriel Jesus and Aymeric Laporte - both nursing knocks - while Ferran Torres is still sidelined with his foot fracture.

Kyle Walker's red card in midweek means nothing for this game, with the England international set to occupy his usual right-back role as Joao Cancelo returns to displace Oleksandr Zinchenko on the left.

Ruben Dias and John Stones ought to form the defensive pairing in front of Ederson after Zack Steffen enjoyed a rare run-out in goal at the Red Bull Arena.

Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne should both hold their places in midfield, where Fernandinho is set to drop out for Rodri, meaning that the in-form Bernardo Silva could feature further forward amid City's attacking woes.

Riyad Mahrez could therefore drop out despite his consolation goal in midweek, with Raheem Sterling potentially coming in to lead the line as Jack Grealish moves to the left-hand side.

Man City possible starting lineup: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Cancelo; Gundogan, Rodri, De Bruyne; Silva, Sterling, Grealish
