Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview

Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently in 16th place in the Premier League standings and have failed to meet expectations this season. The away side crashed out of the FA Cup at the hands of Liverpool last week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have not been at their best so far this season. The Cityzens pulled off a stunning comeback to defeat Tottenham Hotspur by a 4-2 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction

Manchester City have an excellent squad at their disposal but have not justified their potential this season. The Cityzens took massive strides with their comeback victory against Tottenham Hotspur this week and will need to put together a string of victories to give Arsenal a run for their money.

Wolverhampton Wanderers could find themselves fighting relegation this season and will need to play out of their skins this weekend. Manchester City are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: Manchester City 4-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers
