by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions
Manchester City still have plenty to do to ensure a place in next season's Champions League. The Citizens are third in the Premier League and on Friday are home to Wolves who occupy 13th position. Here's our match prediction.
City will drop to fourth if Nottingham Forest can beat Brentford on Thursday evening. Regardless of that result they are only a point above sixth place with the top five going into the Champions League. The weekend saw City reach the FA Cup final but it's a place in the Champions League that they want. Only one of the current top eight in the Premier League have to be faced in their final four league fixtures.
Wolves were in relegation trouble earlier in the season. They are now totally safe and 20 points above the bottom three. They have won their last six league fixtures but as you will read later, it's not been the toughest set of fixtures for them.

Manchester City - Wolves: Form Analysis
Manchester City have finally found some consistency as a difficult season reaches its end. The Blues are unbeaten in their last eight league and cup fixtures. Their last match saw them defeat Nottingham Forest to reach the FA Cup final.
City are scoring plenty of goals at present.
City have won their last three league games with nine goals being scored. On home soil, the Citizens have won 11 league games this season with only Liverpool beating them in their last nine.
Wolves come into this match attempting to make it seven successive Premier League wins. Those victories have taken them well clear of the drop zone. Three of those six wins have come against the trio of teams that have already been relegated to the Championship.
Their most high profile win was away at Manchester United. and that was their fourth league win in a row on the road. This is going to be much tougher for them They have failed to win any of the last 11 away league games played against sides currently in the top seven.

Manchester City & Wolves Squad Analysis
Erling Haaland may still be out injured but City are certainly not short of goalscorers. They have scored 11 goals in their last four league and cup games with nine different players getting on the scoresheet.
That means Wolves have to be wary of just about every single City player in this match. The win over Forest at the weekend saw their two goals scored by Lewis and Gvardiol so it's not just the midfield and attack making contributions.
De Bruyne is reaching the end of his time at City.
Can their goalkeeper make any assists? That's not so likely here as Ederson is expected to only be on the bench for this league game. City are expected to begin with Foden (who hasn't scored since January) and Kevin De Bruyne in one of his final games at the Etihad.
Wolves are on a winning streak at present. Cunha and Strand-Larsen are their in-form scorers with six between them in their last five matches. Cunha will be out to impress as he looks to move away from Molyneux this summer.
They do not have any fresh injuries and will be out to improve on their poor record at the Etihad..

Our Manchester City vs Wolves Prediction
Every game is like a cup final now for Manchester City. They are in the Champions League qualification places but still face a battle to stay there. City are in good form though and the loss of Haaland hasn't affected their scoring ability.
Wolves are enjoying a good end to the season but struggle against the very best clubs in the Premier League. Their away record against City is a poor one with eight goals conceded in their last two visits. Our main Manchester City v Wolves prediction is Manchester City to win and lead at half and full time.
