Guardiola’s side have been in strong scoring form at home and with a day more rest than their opponent we are expecting them to shine once again
Premier League champions Manchester City welcome Wolves to the Etihad Stadium this weekend, with Pep Guardiola’s side looking for their third home win of the season.
After drawing their opening game at home 2-2 with Tottenham, City have racked up two big wins, 4-0 against Brighton and 8-0 against Watford.
Wolves for their part have not won on the road in the Premier League since April and face a tough task on Sunday.
Latest odds
City are massive favourites to claim three points with Sportsbet offering a home win at 1.10.
Indeed anything other than a success for Guardiola’s side is unfancied with the draw offered at 10.00 and a win for Wolves at 21.00.
Manchester City vs Wolves Team News
Kevin De Bruyne remains a serious doubt for City having picked up a groin injury against Everton last weekend.
Aymeric Laporte remains a long-term absentee, while John Stones continues to be sidelined along with Leroy Sane.
Wolves are without youngsters Bruno Jordao and Meritan Shabani who both picked up serious injuries on their respective debuts in the Carabao Cup against Reading last week.
Manchester City vs Wolves Preview
Wolves were in action in midweek in the Europa League, making the long journey to Turkey to beat Besiktas.
City were also in Champions League action this week, but they played 24 hours earlier and at home so they will likely be fresher than Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
City have every chance of putting in another steamroller performance this weekend and last time Wolves visited the Etihad they lost 3-0.
Indeed each one of Wolves’s last three visits have seen them concede at least three goals and the smart money should be going on the hosts to be scoring at least three times.
Tips and predictions
City to win by three goals or more is priced at 2.10 and looks perhaps the best way of getting any value from backing a highly fancied home win.
