Manchester City will aim to maintain their push for a Champions League spot as they welcome in-form Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Etihad Stadium tonight, Friday.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 8:00 PM BST and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League for viewers in the UK. City, fresh off their FA Cup semi-final victory, will be eager to secure three points, whereas Wolves arrive in Manchester riding a remarkable six-game winning streak in the league.
Regarding team news, Manchester City will still be without some key figures. While Erling Haaland and Rodri have returned to training, this game might come too soon for their full involvement, though Haaland is on the bench.
John Stones and Nathan Aké remain sidelined with their respective injuries. However, there’s a potential return to the starting lineup for Kevin De Bruyne, who was rested in the FA Cup. For Wolves, manager Vitor Pereira has a few absentees to contend with, including Chiwome, Mosquera, González, and Kalajdzic, all ruled out. Pedro Lima is also a doubt for the visitors.
Looking at the potential lineups, Manchester City are predicted to field Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, and O’Reilly. In midfield, Kovacic and Lewis could provide the base, allowing Doku, Foden, and Silva to operate in attacking roles behind Omar Marmoush, who is expected to lead the line.
For Wolves, Sá is likely to start in goal, behind a defensive trio of Doherty, Agbadou, and Gomes. The midfield could see Aït-Nouri, André, Gomes, and Semedo, supporting an attacking trident of Cunha, Munetsi, and Larsen. Football enthusiasts can anticipate an intriguing encounter between two sides in strong form, each with their own objectives for the remainder of the season.
