Manchester City
The Citizens have taken the lead after beating Watford in the previous round of the EPL Championship. They now have 35 points, but they are not in a strong position in the standings. Liverpool and Chelsea are close behind, trailing by one and two points respectively.
Apart from the 1-2 defeat at the hands of Leipzig in the final round of the Champions League group stage, Pep Guardiola’s men are in good form. The team has decided their goal of reaching the Champions League play-offs well in advance.
Wolverhampton
The Wolves are firmly in 8th place in the standings ahead of their match against Manchester City. However, judging by the latest results, the team clearly has problems with their attacking play. In the three previous matches, the team scored just 2 points and failed to score a single goal. In the last round, Wolverhampton lost 0-1 at home to Liverpool.
