Team Analysis
After three consecutive away matches, Man City will welcome a return to the Etihad where they have put together an impressive 42-game unbeaten run across all competitions, matching a club record set between 1919 and 1921 - avoiding defeat on Saturday would see the Citizens break this record outright. Guardiola and co, who have also not lost home or away in their last 31 matches in all tournaments (another club record), will be confident of success against a Wolves side whom they have beaten in seven of their last eight home league meetings, scoring 19 goals in the process.

After beginning 2024 with a five-game unbeaten run away from home, Wolves have since failed to come out on top in any of their last four matches on the road and they will end the campaign with arguably the two toughest Premier League trips to Man City and Liverpool. The Old Gold have lost 18 of their last 20 Premier League away matches against teams in the top two, but one of those victories during this run was at Man City (0-2) in October 2019. They are also one of only three top-flight teams to condemn the champions to defeat this season, so there is reason for O'Neil's men to be confident of pulling off an upset on Saturday.

Odds Analysis
Although they enter Saturday's contest as underdogs, Wolves can travel to the Etihad with optimism having already beaten Man City this season as well as both Chelsea and Tottenham away from home since the turn of the year. However, the Citizens have looked unstoppable on home soil for some time, and if they are to line up with both Foden and Haaland in attack, they will fancy their chances of outscoring their West Midlands counterparts, who have conceded in each of their last 10 matches.

Pick: Manchester City
