The Wolves and Manchester City face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at Molineux Stadium.

The Wolves come into this game sitting in 14th place in the standings, having picked up six points. Heading into the season, the Wolves said they wanted to play a different style, and be more high scoring, but so far that hasn’t been the case. Over the last three games, the Wolves have scored only two goals total, but the defense has given up only one. In the last game against Southampton, they only managed two shots on goal, but one found the back of the net, and they secured the victory. Chiquinho is still dealing with a knee injury, and he is going to be out for a while longer. Jimenez missed the last game against Southampton, but it’s expected that he will move back into the lineup for this game. 

On the other side of this matchup is Manchester City, who sits in second place in the standings having picked up 14 points. Manchester City’s last game in the Premier League came against Aston Villa, and it was a disappointing game as they played to a 1-1 draw. Man City played a midweek game against Dortmund, and they also weren’t as dominant in that game, but they were still able to secure a 2-1 victory. Kyle Walker is still dealing with an injury, and it’s hard to imagine that he’s going to be able to go in this game. Laporte is also dealing with an injury and won’t be available to go in this game. 

Manchester City is a good offensive team, but the last few games have shown they can be shown down. The Wolves are an elite defensive team, and they are going to slow down this Man City offense. They might not keep them off the board, but they are going to allow a goal or less. Back the under.
