Manchester City having seen Liverpool go seven clear in the race for the English Premier League know all too well they need a win against Wolves. Pep Guardiola’s men have been hot on the heels of their rivals ever since dropping points against mid-table teams in December. A perfect start to 2019 can be challenged by a Wolves team who seem to be only interested in getting something off the top six. The curious case for Nuno Gomez’s side is that they play shocking football against teams below them but galvanize into something else on facing better opposition. Manchester City vs Wolverhampton - Live Football Score.

Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany are both doubtful for the game after struggling with illness and muscle problem respectively. Several first team stars who missed the EFL Cup semi-final first leg against Burton are going to likely return which includes Ederson, Raheem Sterling and John Stones. Ever since Fernandinho has returned for the team, Manchester City looks a completely different outfit. The impact of the Brazilian on the team is immense as he is the calming influence in the middle of the park. Gabriel Jesus got four goals against Burton and it would have done a world of good for his confidence that had taken a hit in past month or so.

Wolves will welcome back star goalkeeper Rui Patricio and after being rested for the game against Liverpool in the FA Cup. Diogo Jota and Adama Traore would be both vying for a place in the starting eleven although the later may start against City. The defensive trio of Ryan Bennet, Conor Cody, and Willy Boly have done well in the past and will need to keep their concentration level up at all times against the mighty Manchester City. Joao Moutinho is the star man for Wolves as he is equally adept in the defensive and attacking football.

Manchester City will have too much motivation going into the game to not come away with three points although they could only manage a point the last time the sides met in the league.
