On Saturday at noon at Molineux, Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers will compete for the top spot in the Premier League rankings.
Since defeating Southampton 1-0 on September 3, the hosts have not competed. In the Champions League last week, the Citizens overcame Borussia Dortmund by a score of 2-1.
Sasa Kalajdzic went through all the feelings as he started the arduous road to recovery, from becoming the new star striker for Wolves to sustaining a devastating ACL injury during his first half of play for the Premier League team.

Two weekends ago, Wolves defeated Southampton 1-0 without the help of Kalajdzic, Costa, or Jimenez. After Queen Elizabeth II passed away, Wolves’ trip to Anfield to play Liverpool was postponed. Daniel Podence scored the game’s lone goal in first-half injury time to give Wolves their first win of the year.
Since West Ham United has been equally cautious with their shots, Lage’s club still has a three-game winning streak before the champions show up, but their dearth of offensive firepower has only allowed them to climb as high as 14th in the table with just three goals thus far.
After six games, Wolves hold the title of having the best defensive record in the Premier League, having allowed just one goal at Molineux and four overall. Each and every one of City’s rearguard strategies will need to be effective if they are to escape the game with more than three points.
Erling Braut Haaland declined to celebrate his Champions League triumph over Borussia Dortmund out of respect for his former team, although the BVB fans would have been sympathetic had the 22-year-old done so at the Etihad.
