City's Lineup: Three Changes for Wolves
Man City are looking to bounce back from their shock defeat to Nottingham Forest last weekend, and Pep Guardiola has made a few changes to his team to face Wolves at the Etihad. It's a big game for the Cityzens, as they try to keep pace with Arsenal at the top of the table.
Here's a look at the three changes Pep has made:
1. Ederson Returns Between the Sticks
After a brief spell on the sidelines, Ederson is back in goal for City. He's replaced Stefan Ortega, who did a solid job against Forest, but Ederson is the undisputed number one and should bring a sense of calm and control to the City backline.
2. Rodri Back in the Engine Room
Rodri is back in the starting lineup after missing the Forest match with suspension. He's a key part of City's midfield, providing defensive solidity and a passing range that can unlock defenses. His return will be a huge boost to City's chances of getting a result.
3. Mahrez Starts on the Right Wing
Riyad Mahrez is back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench against Forest. He's a proven match-winner and should be a threat to the Wolves defense with his pace and dribbling skills.
The rest of the City lineup looks like this:
- Goalkeeper: Ederson
- Defenders: Walker, Akanji, Dias, Cancelo
- Midfielders: Rodri, Gundogan, De Bruyne
- Forwards: Foden, Haaland, Mahrez
It's a strong lineup, and it's clear that Pep is looking to get back to winning ways. City should be too strong for Wolves, but the home side will be looking to cause an upset.
Let's see if these changes are enough to get City back on track!
