Manchester City will look to maintain their Premier League title charge when they host Wolves at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening.
Pep Guardiola’s Man City side are four wins away from securing the title for the fourth consecutive season, but face a determined Wolves side who will be eager to cause an upset.
City currently sit just one point behind Arsenal, but with a game in hand, they have the opportunity to reclaim the top spot. A victory against Wolves, followed by successful outings against Fulham, Tottenham, and West Ham, would see City retain the Premier League title, irrespective of Arsenal’s results.
Having suffered a surprising 2-1 defeat against Wolves in the reverse fixture earlier in the season, City will be eager to set the record straight at the Etihad Stadium today.
With recent wins against Brighton and Nottingham Forest, the Citizens City enter the match with confidence, particularly with Erling Haaland leading the Premier League scoring charts.
While Wolves have historically struggled in away matches against top-two sides, City must remain vigilant against potential upsets. However, with their impressive 42-game unbeaten run at the Etihad, City are poised to extend their dominance and potentially break a club record dating back to the early 20th century.
