Manchester City will be looking to take one step closer to Premier League glory as they travel to Wolves this Wednesday in a very important fixture for both sides.

With Liverpool slipping up against Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend, the Cityzens can now move six points clear at the top of the table with a win at Molineux, which will put immense pressure on Jurgen Klopp's men to perform with the game in hand. Right now it really is Manchester City's title to lose.

Manchester City will be heading into this fixture with a massive boost after they have just confirmed they've acquired the signature of Borussia Dortmund striker, Erling Haaland. The Norwegian will be joining Pep Guardiola's side as of next season and is expected to tear the Premier League up.

Wolves, on the other hand, still could qualify for Europe. A win against the reigning Champions would really boost their bid of catching up with either West Ham or Manchester United - so this fixture has significant relevance for both sides.

With this in mind, let's take a look at everything you need to know regarding Wolves vs Manchester City.

The home side have four sidelined players. Daniel Podence, Matija Sarkic Max Kilman and Nelson Semedo have all been out for some time now and won't be returning to the squad anytime soon.

Pep Guardiola's side suffered a blow in their horrendous Champions League exit against Real Madrid last week, Kyle Walker is now expected to be out for the season so joins John Stones, Nathan Ake and Ruben Dias on the sidelines - giving Manchester City a defensive injury crisis.

Neither side have any suspensions they need to worry about.

Wolves Predicted XI: Sa; Boly, Coady, Saiss; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Ait-Nouri; Trincao, Jimenez

Manchester City Predicted XI: Ederson; Cancelo, Fernandinho, Laporte, Zinchenko; Silva, Rodri, De Bruyne; Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling

Despite Wolves pushing for a European spot, Pep Guardiola's side are a real force to be reckoned with. They have lots of defensive problems going into this, but their attacking quality should shine through and we think they'll run out comfortable winners.
