Manchester City are targeting a sixth Premier League win in a row, and in Wolves welcome opponents who last beat them in the league 11 years ago. Factor in City’s haul of 35 points from 15 games, with 32 scored against nine conceded, compared with the visitors’ 21 points from the same number of matches, with 12 goals for and 13 against, and a comfortable win for Pep Guardiola’s men seems the most likely outcome. While City will start as red-hot favourites it is worth remembering that Crystal Palace handed them a 2-0 lesson at the Etihad in October, proving that even the champions are vulnerable to an upset.
