Man City v Wolverhampton Wanderers.png

Matchday 35 closes with a classic “sharks v minnows” story. Manchester City, still hunting an unprecedented fifth straight title, welcome Gary O’Neil’s fearless Wolverhampton Wanderers to east Manchester. Kick‑off is 22:00 BST and you can feel the jeopardy: City must keep pace with Liverpool, while Wolves need a point or two more to rubber‑stamp mid‑table security.

Probable line‑ups & team news

Man City (4‑3‑3)	Wolves (3‑4‑2‑1)
Ederson; Walker, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol; Rodri, De Bruyne, Foden; Doku, Haaland, Grealish	Sá; Kilman, Dawson, Toti; Semedo, Gomes, Doyle (loan‑clause cleared), Aït‑Nouri; Sarabia, Neto; Cunha

City are still without John Stones (groin) but welcome back Rodri after illness.
Wolves travel minus Hwang Hee‑chan (ankle) and Pedro Neto is only fit for the bench.

Tactical talking points

Rodri’s return – City’s metronome should help plug the transitional gaps highlighted in recent wobbles.
Wolves’ mid‑block – O’Neil will pack a 5‑4‑1 without the ball, then spring left‑winger Rayan Aït‑Nouri on the break.
Haaland v Dawson – Haaland bagged four at Molineux in September; veteran Craig Dawson needs the game of his life to stop history repeating.

Stat to note: City have conceded first in four of their last six league matches; Wolves have scored inside 20 minutes on three straight away days.
