"Starting with the hosts, putting in an infamous Champions League performance earlier in the week as they fell to a 3-1 drumming away at Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt, Manchester City are in the midst of another public struggle. Watching their Premier League title dreams take a major blow since opening the New Year, it has also been suggested that Pep Guardiola could be eyeing an Etihad exit come the summer."
"Undergoing surgery on a broken leg that he sustained against Chelsea on January 4th, Croatian international Josko Gvardiol faces a lengthy stint on the sidelines. Likewise, dealing with what has become a stacked injury list, Man City will be unable to call upon the likes of Mateo Kocacic, Oscar Bobb, Ruben Fias and former Porto star Nico Gonzalez. Completing a permanent switch from Crystal Palace last week, England international Marc Guehi should make his Etihad debut here."
Manchester City need a vital boost as they host Wolves at the Etihad. City lost 3-1 to Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League and 2-0 to Manchester United, recording only two wins in their last seven matches across competitions. City remain unbeaten at home in domestic competition since the end of August. Josko Gvardiol is out long-term after surgery for a broken leg, and Mateo Kocacic, Oscar Bobb, Ruben Fias and Nico Gonzalez are unavailable. Marc Guehi has completed a permanent switch from Crystal Palace and should make his Etihad debut. Erling Haaland has scored once in his last seven appearances but will spearhead City's attack. Wolves have shown signs of life but remain close to relegation, with a recent 3-0 win over West Ham.
