**Manchester City attacking duo Erling Haaland and Phil Foden are missing from Pep Guardiola’s chosen starting XI against Wolves on Saturday, as per a report.**
City are eyeing their first Premier League triumph of 2026 against bottom-of-the-table Wolves this weekend, having won twice in their last seven games in all competitions as they enter the contest in the backdrop of successive losses to Manchester United and Bodo/Glimt.
Marc Guehi completed his £20 million transfer to the Etihad Stadium from Crystal Palace on Monday and after being ineligible to feature in Tuesday’s UEFA Champions League loss in Norway, the 25-year-old England international is expected to start on his Manchester City debut against Wolves.
Guardiola dealt with a long list of absentees in the Arctic Circle in midweek as all of Antoine Semenyo, Matheus Nunes, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Josko Gvardiol, Mateo Kovacic, Nico Gonzalez and Savinho missed the matchday squad, with Jeremy Doku also deemed unfit to come on by Guardiola despite the Belgian being on the bench.
City enter Saturday’s 15:00 UK kick-off with Wolves seven points adrift of Premier League leaders Arsenal, who will welcome a Manchester United side full of confidence to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday evening after the Reds claimed a 2-0 derby win over Guardiola’s men at Old Trafford last weekend.
