Manchester City is officially alive and kicking. The premier league is definitely a league which can tear you apart if you let it. Thus, Manchester City would be hoping to continue their impressive form when they come face to face with wolves in this Monday night football game.
Manchester City would have thought the title was slipping away until they faced Liverpool. Pep demanded a lot from his players and they delivered. However, Man city still sits in 2nd position and are seven points behind Liverpool. However, they have a match in hand.
Wolves, however, present a different type of challenge. There is no doubt that Wolves are not on the same level as Manchester City. However, they have given a host of big teams a run for their money this season. This can even be seen in the fact that the first match played between these two ended in a draw. Man City would be hoping to change that by the end of the match. Wolves are currently 11th in the league so far. Out of 21 matches which have been played, they have only managed to get 29 points. The need to finish in the top half of the season is certainly there and Wolves would be giving everything they can to achieve this dream.
Man City would also be aware of the threat which is set by Wolves and would set up the barricades to ensure there are no mistakes on the day. Manchester city form has not been perfect due to a shaky festive period. However, they have bounced back in recent times. They have four straight matches in the last six games. The two other games have all ended in losses. They would no doubt on a search for a win to ensure that they get their title challenge back on track.
Wolves, on the other hand, have been rather inconsistent in recent times and that has shown in their form. They have three matches out of their last six. These wins are scattered and are in quick succession. They also have managed two losses and a draw during this period. They would be aiming for something better when they face the defending champions at the Etihad this season.
When it comes to line-ups, one person you would surely see for Manchester city are the duo of Aguero and Kompany. Having shaken off an injury concern, they are believed to be back and raring to go. History in this game happens to be on the side of Manchester city as they have won five games in the last six encounters they have had against. Wolves would be worried that they have managed one win out of ten matches played with Manchester city. It remains to be seen what team would assert their dominance on this match.
Their superior talent plus home advantage surely makes Man city full favorites for this but Wolves would be out to shock them in their own home.
