Insights:
  • Wolverhampton Wanderers have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Manchester City have the most scored goals (89) in Premier League

It's no vacation for neither Wolves nor Manchester City as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats

7-2-8 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Wolverhampton Wanderers so far this season.

The home team returns to Molineux Stadium after drawing with Chelsea (placed 3rd) on their last time out; the game ended 2-2. Late drama in the game against Chelsea as Wolverhampton Wanderers were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Coady popped out and made it level in the 90th minute.

Preceding that match was the home game against Brighton & Hove Albion that was lost 0-3.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Norwich City are coming to town in four days.

The Wolves fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 18 in 17 matches. Wolverhampton Wanderers have conceded 19 in these home matches.

Manchester City form and stats

Manchester City's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Manchester City collect 42 points from their 17 away matches in the Premier League. 13 victories and 3 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). City are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played 16 in a row without losing.

242 minutes! That's how long the Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson Santana de Moraes and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

City won their last game, 5-0 versus Newcastle United played at home. As mentioned above, Manchester City was the only team on the pitch versus Newcastle United in their previous game, winning 5-0. This could be a tougher task. Midfield player Sterling was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.84/10. Sterling scored two goals, hit three key passes and had 32 successful passes (of 37 total).

As mentioned earlier, Manchester City will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in ten wins (eight by two or more goals winning margin), zero draws and zero surprising defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Manchester City now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at West Ham United is waiting in only four days.

The City defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (8 goals in 17 games). There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

Manchester City - Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 was the story when this pair of teams last did battle, some time ago this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - three - five (Wolves wins - draws - Manchester City wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
