Manchester City has found some consistency in recent weeks and, despite a disappointing season overall, can still win a trophy – the FA Cup – and qualify for next season’s Champions League, which is far from a foregone conclusion considering the difficulties Pep Guardiola’s team has faced in recent months.
Finishing in the top five should not be a problem: despite having to do without Erling Haaland, who is injured, City are unbeaten in eight games in all competitions and have won six of those. Last Sunday, they beat a tough Nottingham Forest side in the FA Cup semi-final (a one-off tie) at Wembley, with Lewis and Gvardiol scoring one goal each. In the Premier League, Manchester City are currently fourth, one point ahead of Chelsea and Nottingham Forest (the Tricky Trees have a game in hand). It’s a pretty tangled and chaotic situation, but Guardiola’s men can count on a favorable schedule, at least on paper: they will face a team that is already safe (Wolverhampton), one that has already been relegated (Southampton), and two (Fulham and Bournemouth) that now have little chance of qualifying for European competition.
They start with the Wolves, who, despite having no realistic goals, cannot be underestimated: they are coming off six straight wins, their longest winning streak since 1970. In their last 10 Premier League games, only the newly crowned champions Liverpool have earned more points than Pereira’s men.

The prediction
Manchester City has regained its rhythm and balance and cannot be considered anything but the favorite, but we expect at least one goal from Wolves, who are in good shape and, above all, have scored in their last six away games (including those against Liverpool, Chelsea, and Man United). At least three goals in total.
