Welcoming Wolverhampton at Etihad Stadium in the early match of round 35, Man City is more thirsty for victory than ever. The race for the Top 5 Premier League and a place in the Champions League is extremely hot with 6 candidates and any mistake will have to pay a very high price.
Wolverhampton caused a lot of trouble for Man City
Because we are sure of staying in the league, Wolverhampton played confidently, causing a lot of trouble for the home team. In the first 20 minutes, Man City's defense had to work extremely hard.
With a little more luck, Wolverhampton would have opened the scoring in the 27th minute after Ait-Nouri's shot hit the post.

This is Man City's fifth consecutive victory in the Premier League and they need to maintain this form in the last three matches to decide their final ranking.

In his penultimate match at the Etihad Stadium, Kevin de Bruyne showed that he still has a desire to contribute to the team.
