Top spot in the Premier League table is up for grabs for Manchester City when they travel to Molineux to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday lunchtime.
The Citizens ran out 2-1 winners over Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League in midweek, while the hosts have not been in action since beating Southampton 1-0 on September 3.
We say: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Manchester City
A mouthwatering battle between Haaland and the physically-imposing pair of Nathan Collins and Max Kilman should be a fascinating watch this Saturday lunchtime, and City's attack must be firing on all cylinders to break down Wolves' walls.
The introduction of Costa does not mean that the hosts' attacking woes will be fixed overnight, though, and we still expect the champions to rise to the summit with a hard-fought three points.

Newcastle United will endeavour to end a five-game winless run in the Premier League when they return to action against Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon at St James' Park.
With the death of Queen Elizabeth II leading to the postponements of football matches up and down the United Kingdom, both sets of players have experienced a rare two-week lull with no competitive action.
We say: Newcastle United 2-0 Bournemouth
Newcastle's sturdy rearguard will prove quite the upgrade on a flaky Nottingham Forest defence for Bournemouth this weekend, and the Cherries' penchant for conceding goals away from home is apparent.
The potential returns of Saint-Maximin and Guimaraes will only benefit the hosts at their St James' Park fortress, and we expect the Magpies to claim a long-awaited win before the international break.

Spurs vs. Leicester (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Tottenham Hotspur will aim to bounce back from their Champions League defeat to Sporting Lisbon when they welcome Leicester City to North London for Saturday's Premier League battle.
The Lilywhites suffered a 2-0 loss in Portugal in midweek, while Brendan Rodgers's men most recently went down 5-2 to Brighton & Hove Albion.
We say: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Leicester City
Tottenham's creative problems will not be solved overnight by any stretch, and if Leicester are to revert to a three-man backline, Conte's side will need to up their attacking game tenfold to get the job done.
However, Rodgers's men have simply imploded at this early stage of the campaign and traditionally ship a few goals in their encounters with Spurs, who should bounce back from their midweek disappointment and extend their winning run at home.
