Manchester City will hope to put the pressure on the teams involved in the race for a top-five finish by beating Wolves tonight.
Pep Guardiola’s men can move up to third with a win at the Etihad as they look to maintain their recent improved form that has seen them record four successive victories in league and cup.
They are unlikely to find it easy against a Wolves side who will head north in confident mood.
Vitor Pereira has transformed Wolves’ season with six successive wins moving them away from the lower reaches and into the comfort of mid-table.
