Manchester City v Wolves Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Monday 14^th January 2019 (Kick-off 8 PM)

On Monday night, reigning Premier League champions Manchester City host Wolves as they attempt to make up ground on leaders Liverpool at the top of the table.

The Citizens are now seven points behind the Merseysiders in the race for the title after the Reds defeated Brighton 1-0 on Saturday. Wolves are safely in mid-table and they will be looking to maintain a position in the league’s top ten.

Manchester City have bounced back from their blip over the festive period with four straight wins in all competitions. Last time out, they mauled League One Burton 9-0 at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-finals.

Despite a poor run of form in December, the Citizens have still won ten of their last 13 Premier League games. They have been even stronger on home soil, winning ten matches from their last 11 at the Etihad Stadium.

Wolves will be in good spirits heading to Manchester, having defeated Liverpool 2-1 in the third round of the FA Cup. The side from the Midlands has also beaten Chelsea and Tottenham while earning a draw in the reverse fixture against City.

However, the visitor's form has been patchy of late in the top-flight, as they have won once in their last four outings.

Prediction

Home win and/or over 2.5 goals
