Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers kick-off time

Premier League - Premier League

Etihad Stadium

Manchester City vs Wolves will kick off on 24 Jan 2026 at 10:00 EST and 15:00 GMT. 

Match preview

It's no understatement to suggest that Man City are in something of a crisis. The Citizens won four consecutive Premier League titles between 2021 and 2024, but got dethroned last season, and a title tilt this time around looks unlikely. Pep Guardiola's side have picked up just three points from their last four league matches and find themselves seven points adrift of leaders Arsenal. The most recent EPL defeat was a particularly painful one, 2-0 at Old Trafford against Man United.

Wolves aren't doing much better, but there have been signs of life in recent games. They're unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, a sequence which has included draws with Everton, Man United and Newcastle, a first win of the league season against West Ham and a 6-1 thumping of Shrewsbury in the FA Cup 3rd round.

Key stats, injuries, suspensions

City is still without key injured defenders Josko Gvardiol, John Stones and Ruben Dias. Savinho, Oscar Bobb, Matheus Nunes, Mateo Kovacic and Nico Gonzales are also all out. 

Wolves must do without Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Toti and Leon Chiwome. 

Despite their struggles, City still have 14 goals in their last five matches across all competitions.

Erling Haaland has just one goal in his last eight games, and it was a penalty against Brighton in a 1-1 draw.

Wolves are the first EPL team to go four games unbeaten while bottom since West Brom in 2018.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
