The title race looks to have been whittled down to a straight shootout between Arsenal and Man City, with City having a key game in hand. Wolves, however, are in the busy table looking to leapfrog Brighton and Bournemouth.

Wolves, on the other hand, currently sit 11th in the Premier League. In 35 games, Wolves have 13 wins, seven draws and 15 losses which leaves them on 46 points, two points from the top half of the table.
Wolves have struggled in front of goal this season, scoring 46 goals in 35 games which gives them an average of 1.35 goals a game. However, Wolves have been better at the other end of the pitch, conceding 55 goals and keeping five clean sheets.
This will be the 130th meeting between Man City and Wolves, with the first meeting coming all the way back in 1899. Not much separates the two sides with City having 54 wins in comparison to Wolves’ 50 wins, the other 25 games ending in a draw.
