Another big game is coming up for Man City in their quest to retain the Premier League title, as the end of the season draws closer.

City currently sit in second place in the table, one point behind leaders Arsenal but they have a game in hand over Mikel Arteta’s side. Pep Guardiola’s side are next in action on Saturday when they take on Wolves at the Etihad Stadium (5.30pm kick-off).

Three points from the game will keep City’s fate in their own hands. Wolves did however come out as 2-1 winners in the reverse fixture at Molineux back in September.

City could though be given a double boost for the game with defender Ruben Dias and midfielder Phil Foden potentially coming back after missing last week’s win over Nottingham Forest with illness.
