Manchester City vs Wolves Preview:
Manchester City host Wolves tonight as they continue their march towards the Premier League Title.
The Citizens have been in incredible form, winning their last 20 games across all competitions. Manchester City came away with all three points against David Moyes’ West Ham on Saturday, courtesy of goals from John Stones and Ruben Dias.
Pep Guardiola will hope his side can add to their 12 point lead at the top of the Premier League table against the Wolves.
Wolves, on the other hand, have been very inconsistent this season. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have struggled to string together wins consistently and currently lie 12th in the Premier League. Wolves are, however, on a 3-match unbeaten streak, coming off a 1-1 draw against Newcastle on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola will hope his side can continue their winning streak on Tuesday, but Wolves could be a tricky fixture for Manchester City.
