Paul Merson has stated his prediction for Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester City clash.
In their most recent Premier League fixture, Pep Guardiola's squad maintained a flawless record of six wins out of six by triumphing 2-0 over Nottingham Forest at the Etihad Stadium, despite being reduced to 10 players following Rodri's red card early in the second half.
However, the reigning UCL champions encountered their first setback of the season on Wednesday evening, as they were eliminated from the Carabao Cup after a 1-0 loss to Newcastle.
On the other hand, Wolves had a rather disappointing commencement to the season. Gary O'Neil's side suffered defeats in four of their initial six league matches, though they did manage to secure a draw in an away game against Luton last Saturday.
Nevertheless, their spirits were further dampened following a 3-2 Carabao Cup loss to Ipswich Town on Tuesday night.
Ahead of the meeting, the pundit stated his prediction via Sportskeeda, claiming the guests would mark a 1-3 victory.
"Wolves were outstanding against Liverpool in the first half but got blown away after the interval. They have the personnel to cause a handful of problems, but Manchester City should win this one.
"Football is a funny old game, isn't it? The Cityzens had 75% possession against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup but lost 1-0, while they've managed to win six out of six in the Premier League despite not being at their destructive best. Man City are making it ridiculously hard for the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool to mount a Premier League title challenge as they hardly drop any points. I know it's so early in the season but if Arsenal lose to Manchester City next weekend, they are out of the Premier League title race!"
