Man City Preview: Saving the season
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City could finish what has been a tumultuous season by earning themselves UEFA Champions League qualification as well as winning a trophy and the last ten days or so has seen them take massive steps towards those revised season targets.
City scored a last-gasp goal to defeat fellow top five contenders Aston Villa in their most recent Premier League outing before then eventually cruising to a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at Wembley Stadium in the semi-finals of the FA Cup last weekend.
Wolves Preview: Vitor Pereira’s Wolves
Following the appointment of former Porto boss Vitor Pereira in mid-to-late-December to replace Gary O’Neil, Wolverhampton Wanderers appeared destined for relegation to the Championship but they are now enjoying a magnificent run of form.
Their form under Pereira would see them challenging for the UEFA Champions League if extrapolated over the course of the season and Wolves’ 3-0 defeat of Leicester City at Molineux last weekend made it six successive victories in the Premier League.

Man City vs Wolves Prediction
Despite their overall improvement in the last month and a half or so, Manchester City have still remained susceptible on the counter-attack and have often rode their luck in terms of teams just going straight through the middle of them. Wolves have some excellent in-form attackers at the moment, such as Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen, so will fancy themselves for a goal but City do remain favourites for this one, especially with their home advantage.
