Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Premier League Prediction Match Details

Manchester City and Wolverhampton will kick off the Premier League round 35 games on Friday night at the Etihad Stadium. Can unbeaten City end Wolves' surprise winning streak?

Manchester City Forest Preview & Form

Manchester City's revitalized form continued over the weekend as Pep Guardiola's men reached their third successive FA Cup final by beating Nottingham Forest 2-0 in the semifinal at Wembley Stadium, thanks to Rico Lewis' early first-half goals and Josko Gvardiol's scoring in the second half. The weekend victory now means Pep Guardiola's men are riding on an impressive four-match winning streak in all competitions, with two or more goals scored in each of the games. The last time out in the Premier League, the Citizens took a huge step in the race to finish their turbulent season with a UEFA Champions League qualification by beating fellow top-five rivals Aston Villa 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium, with the result extending their league unbeaten run to six games without defeat, winning four and playing two draws. Currently, they sit fourth in the Premier League standings with 61 points from 34 games, a point behind third-place Newcastle United.

Pep Guardiola's men are enjoying an impressive home form, with the Citizens having remained undefeated at home in the Premier League since the start of March. They have won their last three consecutive home games and are unbeaten in the last four, with two or more goals scored in each of the games.

Rodri and Erling Haaland are both back in training.

Wolverhampton Preview & Form

Wolverhampton will head to the Etihad Stadium on the back of their longest league run of form since the start of the campaign. Vitor Pereira's men are currently the most in-form side in the Premier League after extending their impressive winning streak in the Premier League to six games in a row and are undefeated in the last seven matches. Last weekend, Wolves claimed their sixth win in a row by comfortably dispatching relegated Leicester City 3-0 at the Molineux Stadium. Following an impressive run, Vitor Pereira's men have now moved to 13th in the Premier League standings with 41 points from 34 games, nine points behind finishing in the mid-table. 

Vitor Pereira's men are also enjoying an impressive run of away form as they are currently riding on a four-match away winning streak. During the process, they have kept two clean sheets with two goals scored in two of the games.

Jorgen Strand Larsen believes Wolves can continue their streak.
