This is the game that I think will bring out a surprise this round in Premier League.
The Wolves started the season with 1 win 3 draws and 5 losses and logically are taking the 19th spot in the league. Their home record is W1 D2 L1, which isn’t that bad, but they haven’t won a game away from home.
The team will really have to put an effort this year to stay in Premier League, as the newcomers, from Championship who were expected to occupy the bottom half spots are surprisingly in the upper half of the table, except Blackpool.
Manchester City, has changed its face a lot in the recent years. A lot of money have been invested in that team and it finally pays off, or so it seems. The team has recorded only two losses, but has a home win over the current leader Chelsea.
Their away record so far is W2 D1 L1, and that loss came against Sunderland with 0:1, early in the season.

In the past 10 years both teams have met 6 times, 3 of which on this stadium, and the Wolves have 1 single win in 2003 with 1:0, which was also Wolves debut in Premier League.
Here are some other interesting facts about both teams:
* Carlos Tevez scored twice in this fixture last season. (Carlos Tevez is injured and currently in Argentina)
* Wolves are the only Premier League team not to have kept a clean sheet this season.
* Wolves have not won since the opening day and have lost five of their last six games.
* Manchester City have not won three successive Premier League away games since April 2007.
The absence of Carlos Tevez who has scored 7 out of the 9 goals for City this year will be huge or at least I think so. Although Mario Balotelli and Adebayor will fill in for him, both strikers aren’t in their best shape and will face difficulties, because of the lacking of playing time.
Recommended Bet:
Draw game @ 3.40 (Odds available only in Bet365 – Claim 100% Initial Bonus): Is this surprising? Perhaps a bit, considering how poorly Wolves are performing and what a cluster of stars City has, but let’s face it, with Tevez gone from the starters there’s a pretty good chance for the offense to lack of a striker who can score. If there’s ever a chance for Wolves to get something out of this game, it’s now, when City’s “heart” is injured.
