Saturday’s Premier League action kicks off at Molineux where Wolverhampton Wanderers take on leaders Manchester City.

The hosts are still looking for their first win of the season after losing to Leicester City last weekend – a result which has left them on just one point.

Matt Doherty should be available despite being substituted at the King Power Stadium while Adama Traore may be handed a first start for the club after coming off the bench in the same game.

Diogo Jota is priced at 17.0 (16/1) to get the first goal of the game with Sky Bet with Traore a 26.0 (25/1) chance with Betfred.

The home win is as highly priced as the 12.0 (11/1) on offer from a variety of clubs, with the visitors favourites at 1.29 (2/7). The draw can be backed at 6.6 (28/5) with Unibet.

The champions thumped Huddersfield Town by six goals to one on Sunday to give a firm reminder to their competitors that they remain the team to beat this season.

Pep Guardiola could name an unchanged with side with Kevin De Bruyne rule out for a lengthy period though there will be a change on the substitutes bench after Claudio Bravo tore his Achilles tendon in training.

Following the news, City recalled goalkeeper Aro Muric from his loan spell with Dutch side NAC Breda, and he or Daniel Grimshaw will take Bravo’s place on the bench.

After scoring a hattrick a week ago, Sergio Aguero is favourite to open the scoring here at 3.5 (5/2) with Gabriel Jesus a 5.0 (4/1) shot with Betfred.

Wolves were the first team to keep City at bay last season with Guardiola’s men needing penalties to get past them in the fourth round of the EFL Cup.

Their last meeting at Molineux came in April 2012 and it was Aguero who put his side in front with a twenty-seventh minute strike before Samir Nasri made sure of the points late on.

You can back there being a goal in both halves this time around at 1.57 (4/7) with Sky Bet while the away win to nil can be backed at 2.02 (42/41) with Unibet.
