Manchester City vs Wolverhampton EPL Prediction

Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Preview

Pep Guardila's City host Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolves at the Etihad stadium on Tuesday night as they look to continue their march towards the Premier League title. City have been on a tremendous run of twenty wins from their last 20 outings across all competitions with their last victory coming against West ham United courtesy of goals from defenders Ruben Dias and John Stones.

The Wolves by contrast seem to be having a very chequered season. After a horrendous spell of eight winless games, Nuno Santo's side have found their feet somewhat, emerging victorious in three of their last five outings in February and a very credible 0-0 draw with Top four outfit Leicester City to boot.

Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Team News

As for team news, Guardiola will have a full strength squad to pick from against Wolves, with only center-back Nathan Ake unavailable owing to injury. The City boss may however make a few changes to the side that beat West Ham 2-1 on Saturday.

Nuno Espirito Santo will be without a few key players for their trip to the Etihad on Tuesday. Daniel Podence is ruled on a long-term basis owing to a tear in his abductor muscle. Star striker Raul Jimenez is another important long-term absentee with the Mexican still recovering from a skull injury he sustained last November. Centre-back Willy Boly looks doubtful, too, having picked up a knock last week.

Manchester City probable starting XI in a 4-3-3 formation: Ederson (goal); Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias, John Stones, Kyle Walker; Rodri, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne; Raheem Sterling, Riyadh Mahrez, Gabriel Jesus

Wolves probable starting XI in a 4-3-3 formation: Rui Patricio (goal); Romain Saiss, Conor Coady, Leander Dendoncker; Jonny, Joao Moutinho, Ruben Neves, Nelson Semedo; Adama Traore, Pedro Neto, Willian Jose

Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Verdict

With Guardiola's men looking unstoppable, it is hard to see Wolves coming away with anything from Tuesday night's Etihad clash. It looks like three easy points for the taking for City.
