There are five English Premier League fixtures due to take place on Saturday, one of which comes our way from Etihad Stadium, where Man City and Wolves will clash. This is a game between two teams with vastly different objectives. While the hosts currently sit in second and are looking to chase down the league leaders, the visitors are fighting for survival. At present, Rob Edwards' men are losing their battle to stay in the league, but they have delivered some improved results of late. Still, they've won just one all season and probably won't have what it takes to get a positive result here.
Pep Guardiola's men were upset by Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt during the week, a result that followed their disappointing derby-day defeat to Man United last weekend. As a result, they need to bounce back. Fortunately for them, a home game against Wolves provides the Citizens with the perfect opportunity to regain the winning thread.

Our Manchester City vs Wolves Prediction
Phil Foden has been in fine form in front of goal this season, with the offensive midfielder notching seven EPL goals, averaging a very healthy 0.39 goals per 90 minutes. He's usually at his best when tasked with picking the lock against a deep-lying team, so he should feel at home on Saturday. Not only will the visitors likely sit very deep at Etihad Stadium, but they're not very good at keeping things tight, so the Man City maestro should enjoy himself.
This season in the league, only Erling Haaland has taken more shots than Phil Foden, so do not be surprised if the 25-year-old does some damage.
Our Man City vs Wolves Pick: Phil Foden to Score.
