| PROBABLE LINEUPS |
WOLVES  Hennessey Stearman, Berra, Johnson, Ward Guedioura, Henry, O'Hara, Jarvis Vokes, Doyle | MANCHESTER CITY  Hart Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy De Jong Johnson, Milner, Hargreaves, Nasri Balotelli |
Manager Mick McCarthy could also favour Sam Vokes over Sylvan Ebanks-Blake up front after the Wales international has impressed recently.
Manchester City do not have any new injury concerns either, but will probably rest Micah Richards, Yaya Toure, David Silva and Sergio Aguero, who all played a key part in Sunday's 6-1 demolition of Manchester United.
Nonetheless, manager Roberto Mancini has capable replacements and may look to bolster Mario Balotelli's confidence further by starting the striker against Wolves.
