Pep Guardiola’s side have now won their last 20 matches in all competitions, including their last-14 in Premier League, and it is very difficult to imagine them being caught at this stage of the campaign.
However, Manchester United and Leicester City both dropped points on Sunday to Chelsea and Arsenal respectively.
Man City’s lead at the top of the division is 12 points, while they have a much better goal difference than the two clubs directly below them.
Also, Citizens comfortably have the best home record in the Premier League this season, winning 10 of their 13 matches. They will be coming up against Wolves, that have only picked up 15 points from their 13 away league games during the 2020-21 campaign.
The reverse game ended in a 3-1 win for the Manchester outfit at Molineux earlier this season, but Wolves have won two of their last three Premier League meetings, including a 2-0 success at the Etihad Stadium last term, Adama Traore netting both goals.
Meanwhile, Wolves will enter Tuesday’s contest off the back of a 1-1 draw with Newcastle on Saturday night. Jamaal Lascelles sent Magpies (Newcastle) ahead in the 52nd minute of the contest. However, Ruben Neves‘s 73rd-minute effort ensured that the visitors would secure a share of the spoils.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side (Wolves) have struggled for consistency during 2020-21 campaign and are currently down in 12th position in the table, six points behind seventh-placed Everton, who have two games in hand.
Wolves are unbeaten in their last five Domestic league matches, winning three and drawing two, including pivotal home wins against Leeds United and Arsenal.
