Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League Preview and Odds

January 14, 2019 20:00pm - Etihad Stadium

Premier League

Manchester City will look to move to within four points of league leaders Liverpool when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday night. The visitors kick-off in 11th place, but could rise as high as seventh with a win.

City`s recent win against Liverpool kept their hopes of defending their Premier League title alive, but they still might need to win all their remaining games to overtake Klopp`s men. With the Reds winning at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, Pep Guardiola`s charges will start this game with a seven-point deficit. Only a win will do on Monday night.

Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers can move back into the top half of the table with a win at the Etihad. Nuno Espirito Santo`s men held their opponents to a 1-1 draw when the two sides met back in August.

The Midlands side have performed well on the road winning four, drawing three and losing three of their 10 games. In contrast, they have won four, drawn two and lost five at home. In their last away match, they cruised to a shock 3-1 win at Tottenham, but followed it up with a disappointing home defeat to Crystal Palace. Which Wolves will turn up at the Etihad?

Betting odds and tips

The Citizens have scored two goals or more in each of their last 12 home games and won 11 of them, but have conceded in each of their last six. Wolves have netted in eight of their last nine away games so the Both Teams to Score bet could come into play here.

The visitors have only lost twice on the road since September, but City`s home record is ridiculous with just two defeats in their last 42. The Home Win with Both Teams to Score looks the safest option.

You can back the Home win/Both Teams to Score at 7/4.
