Manchester City continue their charge toward a top-four finish under the Friday night lights as they welcome the Premier League's form team—Wolves—to the Etihad.
Victory for Pep Guardiola's side would trim the gap to second-placed Arsenal to just three points, and they head into this one firing on all cylinders. City are unbeaten in eight, winning six of those, despite juggling injuries and squad rotation. Remarkably, they've done it all without star duo Erling Haaland and Rodri, and still booked their spot at Wembley last weekend with a dominant FA Cup semi-final win.
Their opponents, meanwhile, are riding a wave of momentum. Wolves top the six-game form table after rattling off six straight wins, hauling themselves out of the relegation scrap and climbing to 13th, leapfrogging Manchester United in the process. It’s been an impressive turnaround, albeit one flying slightly under the radar due to the calibre of opposition, beating strugglers like Ipswich, Leicester, Southampton, West Ham, and Spurs.
Still, a win's a win, and their confidence will be sky-high after taking three points off United at Old Trafford last time on the road—albeit against a rotated side looking ahead to Europe.
