Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview

Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Competition – EFL Cup

Stadium – Etihad Stadium

Date: 24th October 2017

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

Manchester City are on fire.

The Cityzens have been scoring goals for fun and over the weekend they continued their charge towards the Premier League with a 3-0 win over Burnley at the Etihad with the returning Aguero getting among the goals.

That win made it 11 on the bounce in all competition for Pep Guardiola’s men with them scoring an incredible 39 goals in those games with 25 goals coming from just their last 7 home games.

Manchester City are expected to make major changes with the likes of Claudio Bravo, Eliakim Mangala, and Danilo getting chances to impress but even with these changes, the Cityzens will still be a handful for Wolves.

Wolves aren’t expected to make many changes to their line up as they will look to play their best players and hope they can cause this City side lots of problems.

Leo Bonati has netted in his last two games and is expected to still lead the line here.

Diogo Jota will have to make do with a place on the left of attack while Ivan Cavaleiro will be on the right side of attack.

With City making major changes to their defence, these three should be able to cause them some problems.
