The Molineux clash launches a spell of four games in nine days for Wolves.
Rui Patricio relishing the battle against 'one of the best' Manchester City

Wolves goalkeeper Rui Patricio has described Manchester City as “one of the best in the world” prior to Friday’s Premier League clash at Molineux.

City were 11 points behind runaway league leaders Liverpool in third place as the festive fixtures began on Thursday.

It means they face a Herculean task in their quest for a successful title defence, but Patricio has no doubt about City’s enduring quality.

Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo has reported no new injury problems ahead of facing Pep Guardiola’s men.

He could make some changes on Friday night, with a trip to Liverpool coming less than 45 hours later, and the likes of Patrick Cutrone, Pedro Neto, Ruben Vinagre, Ryan Bennett and Max Kilman are options.

But midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White (back) continues his recovery, along with centre-back Willy Boly (fractured leg) and Bruno Jordao (ankle).
