3 min Matheus Cunha breaks free on the left and cuts in … but loses his way with the hit from outside the area, the shot wildly off target.

Manchester City v Wolves: Premier League – live | Premier League Key events 2 min Ederson’s pass from the back helps City cut through the Wolves lines, the move ending with Rúben Dias having a crack from around 25 yards. It’s high and rather wide. 1 min City calmly get those possession numbers up by wheeling it around at the back. Peep!The hosts kick things off. Let’s play! Here’s how the reverse fixture went. City went top of the table after John Stones’ winner – it’s been a while. Lads on tour? I think not. “The last 15 years, my wife has been the father and the mother. I didn’t see anything. Birthdays, graduations … I have never been there. Never. I don’t want this life for my sons. We have a lot of moments where we suffer a lot. And alone. I think we are always in a pre-depression. I believe that the moments of my life gave me the opportunity to be stronger.” Some great lines from Vítor Pereira in this piece by Ben Fisher. Pep Guardiola speaks to Sky: “I’ve said, when I finish my time here, I don’t know, one year, two year, three years, four, five, six, I don’t know, I will take a break. I’m not retire but I’ll take a break for sure.” That’s clarifying his comments made here: Erling Haaland is back in the mix but on the bench – he didn’t play any games in April due to an ankle injury. Fellow Norwegian forward Jørgen Strand Larsen is not involved for Wolves; he has six goals in his last six league matches. The teamsManchester City: Ederson, Matheus Nunes, Rúben Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Gündogan, Kovacic, Silva, De Bruyne, Doku, Marmoush Subs: Ortega, Haaland, Grealish, González, Akanji, Savinho, Foden, Lewis, McAtee Wolves: José Sá, Doherty, Agbadou, Toti Gomes, Nélson Semedo, João Gomes, André, Aït-Nouri, Munetsi, Bellegarde, Matheus Cunha Subs: Bentley, Bueno, Hwang, Rodrigo Gomes, Doyle, Sarabia, Gonçalo Guedes, Djiga, Pedro Lima PreambleHello, hello, hello and welcome to some spicy Friday night action: the most in-form team in the league against, um, Manchester City. Yes, Wolves are on a serious run with six consecutive victories. While it’s worth noting that all of those teams sit below them in the table, it’s still clinical work. After flirting with a relegation battle, they’re safe and sound under Vítor Pereira. For City, the good times are (sort of) rolling back. They’ve got an FA Cup final to look forward to after last weekend’s victory over Nottingham Forest, and a win tonight would take them third, causing Forest fans further grief. But a slip up from Pep’s boys would be nice for the neutrals, injecting a bit more drama into the push for Champions League spots. After Liverpool’s title march and the misery of the bottom three, let us feel something. Please. Kick-off’s at 8pm BST. Drop me a line with your thoughts, queries, worries, existential angst, whatever. Cheers! Source link Posted: 2025-05-02 20:05:27 |
