Manchester City’s loss to Leipzig in the Champions League had really little consequence and they will hope to get back in their element when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League. Ahead of the Match Day 16 clash, City are top of the league standings with 35 points and Wolves are eighth with 21. Manchester City finished top of their Champions League group despite the loss in Leipzig, and as they resume league action, the target is to stay top in a tight top three. They have five straight wins in the league, and in each of these matches, they’ve led going to the half time break. City have only failed to score in one league game in the last 10 – against Crystal Palace.

Wolves have given City trouble in their recent meetings but ahead of this clash, they lost the last two. They will be looking to get back to winning ways here, getting to this game on three straight winless outings. One area that they’ve been quite short this season is in attack; they’ve scored 12 goals only, which makes them only better than bottom placed Norwich. Going to this game, they’ve failed to score in four of five matches and in that run they have just one goal. While they have defended better than most teams in the league, this will come under serious scrutiny at the Etihad. In their last game, against Liverpool, they conceded a stoppage time goal to lose 1-0.
