Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva have minutes under their belts after some set-backs over Christmas and are very likely to start as City return to league action following their victory over Liverpool.

MAN CITY INJURIES

Sergio Aguero has missed the last two games with an illness but should be in contention for Monday.

MAN CITY POTENTIAL STARTING LINE-UP

Fabian Delph could return at left-back following his ban, although he was eligible to play against Burton.

Aside from that it could be a pretty straight-forward selection to guess. Pep Guardiola is sure to take Wolves seriously and therefore will pick his strongest midfielders, as long as there are no unforeseen set-backs over the weekend.

Raheem Sterling and Leroy Sane seem to be the first-choice wingers at the moment and they seem likely to start either side of Aguero, as long as he is fit enough to play.

WOLVES TEAM NEWS
