Man City vs Wolves Preview:
- Date: 4th May, Saturday
- Kick-off Time: 4:30 PM (GMT)
- Stadium: Etihad Stadium
As the race for the Premier League title heads into the final month, Man City will take on Wolves at the Etihad Stadium on Matchday 36 in the English Premier League. Since their exit from the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals against Real Madrid, Pep Guardiola’s Man City have been in terrific form and have shown great resolve in acquiring their 4th Premier League title in a row. Their latest outing in the league saw City dominate Nottingham Forest for the entire course of the game and saw them win the game 2-0. With the title at stake, City will look to beat Wolves this weekend as well.
On the other end of the spectrum is Wolves. After a set of poor performances, Wolves finally returned to winning ways last weekend as they beat Luton Town 2-1. The victory was certainly a massive booster for the squad as it was the club’s first victory since March. While Wolves are set to finish in a higher position than last season, the club has been offered an even better opportunity to majorly impact the final result of the Premier League. A win against City would see the reigning champions possibly fall behind title challengers Arsenal and could definitely prove to be detrimental to City’s season.
Man City vs Wolves Team News:
Man City:
The Cityzens have been phenomenal in the league recently and have already booked an FA Cup final against Manchester United. They will certainly look to build on their performances against Wolves.
For the first time this season, Man City will arrive with nearly a completely fit squad as all players have recovered from injury recently. However, a big miss for the tie will certainly be Ederson who picked up an injury in Man City’s weekend tie against Nottingham Forest. It remains unknown if he will recover in time for the fixture.
Wolves:
A lot of the recent troubles faced by Wolves have been a result of their growing injury list. In the Man City vs Wolves battle, Wolves will enter the battle without the services of Pedro Neto. The forward has had a fantastic season for the men in yellow, but his hamstring injury will sideline him till nearly the end of the season. He will be accompanied by fullback Rayan Ait Nouri who sustained a knee injury recently.
In a massive blow to the defense of Wolves, experienced campaigner Craig Dawson will miss the Man City vs Wolves tie with a groin injury as well. Noha Lemina and Jean Ricner will also miss the tie with their respective injuries. Defender Santiago Bueno is also unlikely to return in time for the Man City vs Wolves tie as he recently picked up a hamstring injury.
