Man City & Both Teams to Score
Man City have won each of their last five league games against Wolves and both teams have scored in three of those encounters. The hosts have picked up three wins from their last six fixtures in all competitions and three of those games produced goals at both ends of the pitch. Both teams have also scored in three of Wolves' last five outings, so you can see why we're predicting both teams to score this weekend.
Riyad Mahrez to Score
Riyad Mahrez was the star of the show as Man City came from 2-goals down at home to Tottenham to secure a 4-2 victory. The Algerian international scored two of the goals and claimed assists for the other two goals in his man-of-the-match display. Mahrez has now scored 4-goals in the league this season and we're backing him to pick up where he left off in City's last match by scoring at least one goal against Wolves on Sunday.

How will the teams lineup on Sunday?
Man City
Man City didn't look themselves in the first half against Tottenham, conceding two late goals. However, despite not making any changes to personnel, Guardiola got a tune out of his players in the second half with Alvarez making it 2-1 in the 51st-minute and Haaland netting the equaliser 2-minutes later. Man of the match, Mahrez added a third goal just after the hour mark and then in the final minute of the ninety, the Algerian international secured all 3pts with his second goal of the game. Dias made his return from injury as a late substitute meaning that Man City have a clean bill of health this weekend.
Predicted Lineup – Ederson (GK), Aké, Stones, Akanji, Lewis, Gündoğan, Grealish, Rodri, Mahrez, Haaland & Álvarez
Wolves
Wolves put in a solid display against a poor West Ham side last weekend where a solitary goal from their in-form midfielder Podence early in the second half, proved enough to win a very important game at the bottom of the table. Wolves are expected to still be without Chiquinho, Neto, Kalajdzicand Boubacar Traore this weekend due to injury.
Predicted Lineup – Sá (GK), Semedo, Collins, Kilman, Bueno, Moutinho, Neves, Podence, Nunes, Hwang & Cunha
Player to Watch: Riyad Mahrez
After his performance in midweek, there can only be one player to watch in this game.
Mahrez tore Tottenham to shreds in the second-half at the Etihad, setting up two goals and scoring two as Guardiola's men came from two goals down to win the game 4-2. Mahrez has chipped in with 4-goals in the Premier League this season and we're expecting a big second half of the campaign from the former Leicester City man.
The Algerian winger is now in his fifth season at Man City and during his time at the club he has always delivered goals and assists, even when playing a bit part role due to the immense quality within the squad. Majrez has only started eight league games this season but his performance against Tottenham shows just how much he is worth to Guardiola and we expect the player to start against Wolves and make an impact on the end result.
