Check out our 23/20 Wolves vs Man City prediction below
Manchester City will go to the top of the Premier League for the first time this season - for 24 hours at least - if they avoid defeat in Saturday's lunchtime Premier League offering.
And the bookies certainly expect them to do just that. City are a hugely restrictive 30/100 with Betway to pick up all three points at Molineux while Wolves are a huge 9/1 to win just their second Premier League game of the season.
City put five past the Midlanders in this fixture last season and they head to Molineux with the league's best striker in stunning form. Erling Haaland has scorched his way to 13 goals for City and he made it six consecutive scoring games on the bounce when steering home Cancelo's delicious cross against Dortmund on Wednesday night.
Haaland is already on course to break all Premier League scoring records and he'll surely be licking his lips at the prospect of facing a Wolves defence that has been giving up some big chances despite a string of low-scoring encounters.
Wolves have given up an xGA of at least 1.0 in four of their last five games and it remains a mystery to this day how they managed to come away from the home game against Newcastle with a point given Eddie Howe's side racked up 22 efforts on the Wolves goal.
However, it's offensive productivity that is really holding Wolves back right now. Their three goals is the lowest of any Premier League side and even their xGF total of 5.7 is a paltry return so far when you consider that the league's bottom side Leicester are just 0.2 goals behind with an xGF of 5.5.
It is for precisely this reason that Bruno Lage has brought in Diego Costa, although it looks unlikely that the veteran Brazilian will be ready to start this game.
So City will know that if they can get their noses in front, the points are probably in the bag.
Wolves vs Man City prediction
City have put eight past Wolves in the last two editions of this fixture but they probably won't need to go goal crazy to take all three points this time. The hosts are really struggling to create big chances and if City keep their discipline, this should be fairly straightforward.
With that in mind, the best option is to back City to win this without conceding, which is an appealing 23/20 option with Betway.
