Man City v Wolves

Manchester City vs Wolves Preview

Manchester City recorded a 2-0 win away from home at Nottingham Forest which became City's fifth league win on the trot and has placed Pep Guardiola's side sitting in second place and just one point behind the league leaders Arsenal in what has become a two-horse race for the Premier League title, while Wolves ended a six-match winless run in the top flight with a 2-1 home win against Luton Town.

Manchester City had previously chalked up wins against Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Luton Town and Brighton respectively while The Citizens have also scored a total of 19 goals during this five-match winning streak and conceded just four goals in reply, so the hosts look to be in a commanding position ahead of this Saturday evening's clash.

The bigger picture also looks ominous for Manchester City's rivals in the race for the league title as Pep Guardiola's side are now unbeaten in their last 19 matches (the best unbeaten run in the Premier League) and look to not only be closing in on Arsenal but overhauling The Gunners into top spot, possibly by the end of play on Saturday.

Having won seven of their last nine home games, Manchester City look to be in pole position for the three points in this encounter.

Wolves returned to winning ways last weekend with a welcome 2-1 home win against Premier League strugglers Luton Town as the west midlands club had previously slumped to four defeats within their preceding six games, suffering defeats at the hands of Aston Villa, West Ham, Arsenal and Bournemouth respectively.

Nevertheless, Wolves are another side who have enjoyed a successful and solid campaign under manager Gary O'Neill as the west midlands club, often found to be battling against relegation at this stage of a top flight season, are enjoying the relative comfort of a mid-table position of 11th in the Premier League table.

Results away from home though still need a lot of improvement as the visitors have found league wins on the road this season difficult to come by with just three wins from their last 12 outings on their travels which were achieved at Brentford, Chelsea and Tottenham but this sequence also includes slipping to six defeats as well.

In addition, Wolves have conceded in each of their last nine games overall in the Premier League which does not bode well for an upcoming visit to face a Manchester City outfit who are chasing another domestic league title.

Manchester City v Wolves Verdict
