Man City v Wolves Preview

Man City’s Form

Man City have won their last 5 league games scoring 19 goals and conceding just 4, they’re showing no signs of ahead their charge for 4 Premier League titles in a row. However, despite destiny being in their hands, any slip-up due to Arsenal’s superior goal difference would make Arsenal title favourites.

Last weekend City were lucky to come away with a victory, as usual dominating the ball (67%) they were only able to get 11 shots on goal for a cumulative XG of 0.93. It was a testament to their top-class finishing that they got 2 goals. However, Forest had the better of the chances, having 14 shots on goal for a cumulative XG of 2.17. But at the end of the day for Pep and his side, all that mattered was the win.

City could go top depending on results elsewhere with a win.

Wolves’s Form

Wolves' victory against Luton last weekend put an end to their 7-match winless run in all competitions. However, with the tight nature of the league, if they were to defeat City and results went their way they’d climb into the top half of the league at a minimum. Although their overall performances have been on the poorer side this season with their Expected Points position 16th.

Last weekend was a solid performance though, 58% of possession, 13 shots for a cumulative XG of 1.49 scoring twice. Luton on the other hand had 9 shots for an XG of 0.90. It was a rare instance of Wolves having the better of the numbers in a game and it could be due to the lack of pressure on them in the closing weeks.

A Wolves win would be the shock of the season.

Key Players To Watch

Phil Foden – Man City

The Manchester maestro (23) is tremendously versatile playing across all four positions in the front four this season Making him a key cog in the Guardiola side. Having been rested from the squad last weekend, I expect him to be returned to the starting 11 for this game where he will be hoping to add to his tally of 24 goals and 10 assists in 48 games.

Mario Lemina – Wolves

When coming against a City side who are going to dominate possession on Saturday. Lemina (30) will be crucial for them to stop the overload in the middle of the park. Last weekend in their victory against Luton he contributed an assist but won 6/9 of his duels, made 8 recoveries and was fouled twice in a MOTM display.

Man City v Wolves Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Man City 3-0 Wolves

City can’t afford to have any more slip-ups if they’re to keep pace with Arsenal, but they have the knack of finding victories when it matters as they showed last weekend.

Wolves with a win could pull off the shock of the season and put a huge dent in the City charge. Despite a questionable season performance-wise they’ve shown themselves to be capable of pulling big results out of the bag having already beaten City 2-1 earlier in the season.

City will be far too good for Wolves this time though.

Best Bet: Man City Win 3-0,3-1 or 3-2 @ 3/1
