First place in the Premier League table could belong to Manchester City for a couple of hours should they get the better of basement boys Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon.
The reigning champions came up trumps in a five-goal thriller with Fulham before the international break, while their cellar-dwelling visitors lost an eight-goal extravaganza to Brentford.
We say: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-4 Manchester City
Even though Man City have conceded the first goal in four of their last six Premier League games, they have won a division-high 10 points from losing positions this term, and Sunday’s match is surely a foregone conclusion from the off.
As clinical as Wolves can be up front, O’Neil’s men are extremely frail at the back and will likely suffer a home humbling at the hands of Guardiola’s champions.

Headlining the return of Premier League football following the international break, Liverpool and Chelsea collide in a clash of the titans at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
The Reds lead the way at the summit of the standings thanks to their 1-0 triumph over Crystal Palace before the hiatus, while the Blues were stunted in a 1-1 draw versus Nottingham Forest.
We say: Liverpool 2-1 Chelsea
Sunday’s mouthwatering match should no doubt live up to the pre-game billing, as the unstoppable attacking force of Chelsea meets the immovable defensive object of Liverpool, who arguably come into the clash as marginal favourites.
The suspensions of Fofana and Cucurella – two cornerstones of the Chelsea backline – may just tip the scales in the Reds’ favour, especially with a well-rested Salah and Virgil van Dijk in the ranks, as Slot’s side continue to sit pretty on their Premier League throne.
