⚡ Prediction

It seems to us that Wolverhampton Wanderers could really find it hard to be scoring even one goal against a Manchester City team who should boss this game in attack, midfield and defence.

We think that it’s going to be a very comprehensive 3-0 win for Manchester City at the end of the game.
