Premier League - Manchester City vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers - prediction, team news, lineups
Manchester City is determined to win the Premier League title this season and has put up a great performance to deserve it! However, the battle for the trophy is now between them and Arsenal whom they maneuvered last season to claim the trophy.
They will welcome Wolves at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. Last week, they secured a 2-0 victory against Nottingham Forest while Wolves also won Luton 2-1.
Statistics
Just a few days after being eliminated from the UEFA Champions League by Real Madrid, Manchester City eliminated Chelsea from the FA Cup semi-finals to progress to the finals which will be against Manchester United on May 25th.
Manchester City still has a huge chance of winning the Premier League title, especially if they manage to win all of their remaining games in the campaign. Now, they can only focus on the Premier League campaign while preparing for the FA Cup finals next month.
They have an outstanding 1 game, when compared to Arsenal who has played a total of 35 matches to sit on top of the table. Manchester City’s aim will be to win the rest of their remaining games without encountering a loss or having a draw as that may put them behind Arsenal.
Wolves on the other hand haven’t been at their best lately with one win in the last 8 games which has seen them drop to the 11th position.
However, when they faced Luton last week, they put up an incredible performance in betting the 2-1 scoreline at Molineux last weekend.
While Hwang Hee-chan opened the scoring against Luton in the 39th minute, Toti doubled the lead in the 50th minute of the game before Calton Morris pulled on back for Luton in the 80th minute to make the final score 2-1.
Wolves shouldn’t expect anything more this season, than just enjoying the remaining games while preparing for the best in the following Premier League season. They are well away from the relegation zone, so they shouldn’t worry about that.
In the past 5 meetings between both teams, Wolves has one win, while Manchester City has 4 wins out of those 5 games.
