    Manchester City host Wolves at the Etihad Stadium as they continue to pursue a fourth Premier League title.

    Manchester City will be hoping to maintain the  pressure on Arsenal at the top of the Premier league table as they host Wolves this weekend at the Etihad stadium. Wolves surprisingly defeated Manchester City in the reverse fixture 2-1 at the Molinuex stadium.

    Manchester City may find themselves four points behind in the title race if Arsenal defeat Bournemouth as they are set to play first and Manchester City later on in the the evening.
    Pep Guardiola is hoping to lead his side to a fourth straight Premier League title and go down in history as the first club to do so in English football, but currently they are one point behind League leaders Arsenal who are also in search for their first Premier league title in 20 years.

    Manchester City responded to Arsenal's victory in the North London Derby with a 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest.

    Ederson having been forced off in the match against Nottingham Forest last weekend is unlikely to play the remaining games of the season with Stefan Ortega set to start between the posts this weekend. Ruben Dias is also suffering with an illness and could miss out.

    Craig Dawson who put in an excellent performance in the reverse fixture won't be available for the match due to a groin injury. Wolves are without Pedro Neto who has been struggling with a hamstring injury and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is also a doubt due to an ankle issue.

    Wolves have enough decent players who have the  ability to trouble Manchester city but are without Pedro Neto who was a crucial player in their win against Manchester city in the reverse fixture. This makes them unable to counter attack the same way they did in the reverse fixture.

    Manchester City will be back at the Etihad Stadium this weekend, a ground where they rarely struggle after playing three consecutive away games.
    Manchester City have won all their five league matches in April to keep the pressure on Arsenal and will hope to continue with that impressive form on the weekend against Wolverhampton Wonderers. Wolves have won  only one game in their last seven matches and the win came against Luton town (2-1) at the Molinuex. Wolves will be hoping to register another win against Manchester City this weekend and improve on their poor form.
