Wolves will be trying to make up for losing their previous FA Cup match against Liverpool by winning this one.

According to the statistics, Wolves have allowed opponents to score in 5 of their past 6 games, resulting in a total of 6 goals for the opposition. Wolverhampton Wanderers have obviously had some issues on defence. Of course, there’s a chance that pattern won’t continue into this match.
Wolves have lost six of their last eight games at the Etihad Stadium (W1 D1).
But on the bright side of things for Wolves, Daniel Podence has scored three goals in their last four PL games, as much as he scored in his previous 23 games!
Perhaps he can be the difference maker in this one!
