Wolves v Man City

Wolves vs Manchester City Preview

Wolves find themselves in early trouble down at the foot of the Premier League table after being handed a sixth defeat in their opening seven games in a 5-3 loss away from home at Brentford, while Manchester City registered a 3-2 home win against Fulham before the international break to extend their unbeaten start to this season to seven games.

Having suffered six defeats within their opening seven games in this new Premier League season along with picking up just the single point from a possible 21 on offer, the last thing Wolves need is a visit from an unbeaten and confident Manchester City outfit on Sunday afternoon.

But this is exactly what will happen when the two teams file out onto the Molineux pitch with the west midlands hosts looking to halt a miserable 10-game winless run in the English top flight which consists of nine defeats within this period as well.

Wolves have lost all of their four home games to date in this season's top flight campaign which have seen the hosts handed losses to the likes of Crystal Palace, Chelsea, Newcastle United and Liverpool respectively, so this upcoming clash certainly does not bode well for Wolves, nor their under-fire manager, Gary O'Neill.

Manchester City currently occupy second place in the Premier League table but are only one point behind the early league leaders, Liverpool, ahead of this weekend's action in the English top flight with an upcoming visit to face the bottom team in the division on Sunday afternoon.

The Citizens still remain unbeaten after their opening seven games of the season and having picked up five wins within these seven games, the visitors will be confident that they can not only extend their unbeaten run to eight games here, but also collect another three valuable points into the bargain as well.

Early season victories over the likes of Chelsea, Ipswich Town, West Ham, Brentford and Fulham have handed Pep Guardiola and his side a solid base from which to launch another potential title winning campaign, and the bigger picture just underlines how dominant and how tough Manchester City are to beat in recent times.

Indeed, Manchester City are now unbeaten in each of their last 30 matches in the Premier League along with winning 14 out of their last 16 games overall, while also winning 12 of their last 14 outings on the road as well, so Wolves certainly look to have a mountain to climb at Molineux on Sunday afternoon.
