Anything less than a win for City would open the door for Liverpool, who can finish the campaign with a remarkable 97 points, should they overcome Nuno Espirito Santo's impressive side.

Here, Goal takes a look at everything you need to know ahead of Sunday's meeting...

Liverpool Injuries

Liverpool will welcome back Mohamed Salah, who missed the midweek Champions League classic with Barcelona due to concussion. The Egyptian has been cleared to face Wolves after the head injury sustained at Newcastle last weekend.

Roberto Firmino will miss out due to a muscle issue but Andy Robertson, who was forced off against Barcelona after a kick to the calf, should be fit to play.

Naby Keita (groin) is another absentee, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be assessed. Adam Lallana is unlikely to feature.

Liverpool Suspensions

Liverpool do not have any suspended players for this game.

Liverpool Likely Line-Up

Salah is almost certain to return to the starting XI, most likely at the expense of Xherdan Shaqiri.

Robertson should start at left-back despite the knock he suffered against Barcelona, with Klopp revaling "it's only pain" in his pre-match press conference and that he should be fit to play. Gini Wijnaldum will likely return in midfield.

Both Joe Gomez and Dejan Lovren, meanwhile, will hope to get a start at centre-back, in place of Joel Matip.

Wolves Team News

Nuno will have a full-strength squad to choose from for Sunday's game.
