Manchester vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview

Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – Etihad Stadium

Date: 14th January 2019

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

Manchester City will be looking to continue their fine run of form as they return to Premier League action in this game.

The last time they were in action, Pep Guardiola’s men scored 9 goals past Burton Albion, but the standard of their opponents in this game is different.

The Cityzens come into this game on a run of 4 straight wins which includes league wins over Liverpool and Southampton.

They scored 21 goals in those 4 games and conceded just 2, without Sergio Aguero stepping on to the field.

This will be a tougher game than the one against Burton, but with the likes of Aguero and De Bruyne back fit, they will be looking to win again.

Wolves are set to remain in the Premier League this season and they could even finish inside of a European place.

With that in mind, Manchester City should expect a tough test in this game.

Wolves eliminated Liverpool from the FA Cup in their last game and have actually had better results when they play away from home.

They have beaten Tottenham and Newcastle away recently, while picking up draws at Arsenal and Fulham as well.

Wolves drew 1-1 with Manchester City when these teams first met in the reverse fixture and they should be motivated to go for the win here.

Bookmakers have priced Man City up as strong odds-on favourites to come out on top in this game.

Goal markets suggest this game will be lively as over 2.5 goals is trading odds-on at present while Sergio Aguero is clear favourite to score the opening goal of the game.
