Manchester City were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Newcastle on Wednesday but will hope to maintain a 100 per cent record in the Premier League this weekend.
Manchester City will hope to bounce back from a first defeat of the season when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday.
Despite an uncharacteristically wasteful period in front of goal, the Norwegian still has eight goals in nine appearances and returns to a ground where he scored in a 3-0 win last season. His involvement could see Julian Alvarez dropped back into the role behind the striker in which he has excelled so far this season.
Rodri will serve the second of his three-game ban on Saturday after grabbing Morgan Gibbs-White around the throat last weekend. Kalvin Phillips got 90 minutes in a City shirt for the first time since the final league game of last season and looks set to keep his place at the heart of midfield, playing alongside the fit again Mateo Kovacic.
City predicted XI in full: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Gvardiol, Ake; Phillips, Kovacic, Alvarez; Doku, Foden, Haaland.
