There are several fixtures to look forward to in the English Premier League this week, beginning on Tuesday night with the meeting between Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Etihad Stadium.
The hosts begin the week sitting top of the table on 62 points while the visitors are in 12th place on 34 points.
Manchester City come into the match having defeated West Ham United 2-1 at home in the Premier League on the weekend. They were forced to rely on goals from defenders as Ruben Dias and John Stones made the difference for Pep Guardiola’s team.
That result means Manchester City are undefeated in their last 27 games in all competitions and they have won each of their last 20 matches.
In the Premier League, Manchester City have picked up 14 successive victories, which is a tremendous record. They have won each of their last 7 home League matches and are undefeated in their 12 most recent Premier League fixtures at the Etihad Stadium.
Trends show Manchester City have been performing strongly at both ends of the pitch and at home in the Premier League they have scored 2 or more goals in each of their last 5 games. In addition, Manchester City have kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 7 Premier League matches on home soil.
Wolverhampton make the trip to the Etihad Stadium having picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Newcastle United. Wolves fell behind 7 minutes into the second half but produced a stronger performance in the final 30 minutes of the game, scoring the equaliser in the 73rd minute. Wolves will believe they should have gone on to win the match but could not score the decisive goal.
That result means Wolves have won 2 of their last 5 games in all competitions. Both victories have come in the Premier League, one of which was away from home against Southampton and the other at Molineux over Leeds United.
Wolves are currently on a 5 match unbeaten run in the Premier League but they have won only one of their last 8 league games away from home. Wolves have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 10 away Premier League fixtures and have failed to score in 2 of their last 4 on the road.
Team news and Manchester City are still without injured defender, Nathan Aké but every other player is fit and available. Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden, Gabriel Jesus, Aymeric Laporte and Joao Cancelo could all come into the starting XI.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have four players unavailable due to injury, with Fernando Marcal, Willy Boly, Daniel Podence, and Raul Jimenez on the treatment table.
Given the form of Manchester City, you would back them to beat any team in the world right now, including Wolves. It would not be a surprise to see Manchester City take maximum points and keep a clean sheet.
