Manchester City vs. Wolves preview

Manchester City return to Premier League action looking to solidify their Champions League qualification hopes as they host an in-form Wolves side riding a remarkable six-match winning streak.

Despite missing key figures like Erling Haaland and Rodri through injury, City have found their rhythm with six wins from their last seven matches, including last weekend's composed FA Cup victory over Nottingham Forest.

Pep Guardiola will need to navigate another match without several defensive stalwarts, with John Stones and Nathan Aké joining Rodri on the treatment table.

Wolves arrive at the Etihad brimming with confidence after putting three past Leicester, with Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen forming a potent attacking partnership that has helped them score in 13 consecutive matches.

The visitors' recent defensive solidity—conceding just four goals in their last six outings—will face its sternest test against a City side that has netted exactly twice in six of their last eight fixtures.

Watch for City's left-sided defenders to continue their surprising goal threat, with Josko Gvardiol and Nico O'Reilly combining for multiple strikes in recent weeks.
