Manchester City vs Wolves prediction, preview, team news and more | Premier League 2020-21

Manchester City host Wolves on Tuesday as Pep Guardiola's side look to continue their march to the Premier League title.

The Citizens have been in incredible form, winning their last 20 games across all competitions. Manchester City came away with all three points against David Moyes' West Ham on Saturday, courtesy of goals from John Stones and Ruben Dias.

Pep Guardiola will hope his side can add to their 12 point lead at the top of the Premier League table against the Wolves.

Wolves, on the other hand, have been very inconsistent this season. Nuno Espirito Santo's side have struggled to string together wins consistently and currently lie 12th in the Premier League. Wolves are, however, on a 3-match unbeaten streak, coming off a 1-1 draw against Newcastle on Sunday.

PEP 💬 We must rest mentally and physically. If not, you cannot sustain it. It’s many games but the big teams have to do it. From tomorrow, we look towards Wolves - in past years we suffered against them.

Pep Guardiola will have a full strength squad to pick from against Wolves on Tuesday, with only 4th choice centre-back Nathan Ake unavailable through injury.

Injured: Nathan Ake

Doubtful: None

Suspended: None

Nuno Espirito Santo will be without a few key players for their trip to the Etihad on Tuesday. Daniel Podence will miss a few weeks due to a tear in his abductor muscle. Star striker Raul Jimenez is also out as he is still recovering from the fractured skull that he suffered last November.

French centre-back Willy Boly is also a doubt for the game, having picked up a knock last week.
