With the hard work already done earlier in the campaign, Wolves look to be staggering towards the finish line this season, with just one win in their last seven league games.
Gary O’Neil’s side face their toughest test on Saturday at the home of the reigning champions and, while they might cause the hosts problems, it’s hard to see Wolves disrupt City’s charge towards the title.
City should edge end-to-end contest
While City have been impressive at home in the Premier League this season, keeping clean sheets has been an issue for Guardiola’s side.
A City win and both teams to score would have landed in three of their last four games at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League and the trend is expected to continue on Saturday.
Wolves have shown they can get at this City defence after beating the champions 2-1 at Molineux back in September.
While O’Neil’s side might well get on the scoresheet again this weekend, it’s unlikely to be enough to stop City claiming all three points.

Haaland can pull away in Golden Boot chase
Having recovered from his recent injury issues, Erling Haaland has gradually been working himself back to his goalscoring best.
A nicely-taken goal last time out against Nottingham Forest was another step in the right direction for the Norwegian, who bagged a hat-trick in the home fixture against Wolves last season.
With Haaland building up to full fitness, the former Borussia Dortmund star looks to be good value to score two or more against Wolves again on Saturday.

Lemina to land in hot water once again
Mario Lemina has been booked in Wolves’ last two games against City and it would be little surprise to see the midfielder make it a hat-trick this weekend.
The last meeting between these sides was a feisty affair at Molineux, with no less than 11 cards brandished that day in September.
Some grudges might well carry over from that encounter in the West Midlands and Lemina to land his 11th yellow card of the season looks to be the way to go here.
