Player(s) to watch:

• Erling Haaland has been impressive so far this season. He has scored 20 goals in the Premier League. However, he is going through a dry spell. He has only scored three goals in his last nine appearances. However, his ability to move into good goalscoring positions in the opposition box is incredible.
• Mateus Mané has impressed everyone ever since he made his first-team debut last year.The English attacker has been in great form recently. He has scored in two of his last three Premier League appearances. He is one of the biggest reasons behind the Wolves’ resurgence in recent weeks. He will look to again play a crucial role against Manchester City.
