Wolves’ Struggles and O’Neil’s Pressure

City’s Key Updates:

  • Nathan Ake has returned to training after a hamstring injury.
  • Kevin De Bruyne is still out and has not resumed training.
  • City boasts the best away record in the league this season.

Manchester City has won eight of the last ten encounters against Wolves, scoring at least two goals in each of their last five meetings. Wolves will need a perfect performance to pull off an upset.

Prediction & Betting Tips

Given their recent form and squad depth, Manchester City are clear favorites to win this fixture. However, Wolves could capitalize on counter-attacks if City’s defense is exposed.
