Manchester City welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Etihad in the Premier League on Friday night.
Pep Guardiola’s side have looked more like their old selves in recent weeks, maintaining their recent revival with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the semi-final stage of the FA Cup on Sunday.
That Wembley victory extended Man City’s winning streak to four matches across all competitions.
Back at their Etihad base on Friday night, the Sky Blues will look to boost their bid for a top five finish in the Premier League when in-form Wolves come to town.
The Old Gold made it six wins in succession with a 3-0 win over Leicester last Saturday, in a game that brought up two of my three Molineux selections.
While Vitor Pereira’s men will make the trip to Manchester in high spirits, they will be hard tasked in their bid to maintain their current winning streak.
How the bookies view it: City too strong
Manchester City are firm 1/3 favourites on Boylesports to earn what would be a fourth Premier League win on the spin.
Wolves are as big as 7/1 on Boylesports to emerge from the Etihad victorious, while a share of the spoils is an unfancied 4/1 with the same firm.
Head to head: Wolves record not up to scratch
Wolves have fallen to defeat in eight of their last nine Premier League meetings with Man City, including this season's reverse fixture at Molineux which ended 2-1 in the Citizens' favour.
Players to watch: Marmoush to make his mark?
Omar Marmoush has scored in three of Man City’s last four Premier League home games, making the Egyptian ace an attractive option at 5/6 with Boylesports for an anytime strike on Friday night.
Nelson Semedo has averaged 1.50 fouls per game in the Premier League this season, picking up seven yellow cards along the way. With that in mind, the Wolves defender could be worth a look to commit two or more fouls here at 5/4 on Bet 365.
Predicted line-ups
As was the case at Wembley on Sunday, Man City again look set to be without injury victims Erling Haaland, John Stones, Nathan Ake and Rodri.
With a lengthy injury list to contend with at the moment, Wolves manager Pereira could stick with the same set players that put Leicester to the sword last Saturday.
Man City: Ederson; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Kovacic, Silva; McAtee, De Bruyne, Doku; Marmoush
Wolves: Sa; Doherty, Agbadou, Toti; Semedo, J. Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Munetsi, Cunha; Strand Larsen
Anything else catch the eye?
Look for both teams to get on the scoresheet at the Etihad on Friday night at 4/5 with Boylesports.
Both teams have scored in three of Man City’s last four league games at home while BTTS has also banked in 11 of Wolves” 17 top flight fixtures away from home this season.
It’s also worth noting that each team obliged during this season’s reverse fixture between the pair at Molineux.
