Yahoo Finance Man City vs Wolves live stream: How to watch Premier League fixture online and on TV tonight
Wolves travel to Manchester City looking to become the first side to prevent Pep Guardiola’s team was winning in 21 matches.
City found it more difficult than usual against West Ham last time out, but eventually got the job done through John Stones’ winner.
While Ruben Neves secured a point for Nuno’s side at struggling Newcastle last time out.
City will be conscious of the Manchester derby this weekend, which will likely be the priority, despite a 12-point gap to their local rivals at the top of the table, that can be extended to 15 with all three points tonight though.

Sergio Aguero made his first start in four months at the weekend and Guardiola maintains the Argentine remains a key player for the Citizens.
“He knows it from day one, the guys who play deserve to play,” Guardiola said. “It’s not just for Sergio - it’s for everyone. I try to make fair decisions. “Sergio is so important for us. He has special talents and special quality. “There will be games that are tight and difficult and we need a goal - who is the best guy in these terms? Him. “But he is coming back after a year and needs time.”
While the Spaniard believes this current run is among his greatest achievements:“In this period, in this era, with this situation, to be able to do 20, maybe it is one of greatest achievements we have done together in our careers. That doesn’t mean a title win but this period in time, the toughest period in England, (to have) no one week of rest for three or four months, every three days a game, with the COVID, injury situations. To be on this kind of run - winning, winning, winning - means mental strength. Mentally it’s tough because we play many games every three days. People start to be tired... We must rest mentally and physically. If not, you cannot sustain it.”

What is the team news?
Centre-back Nathan Ake is unavailable through injury, but otherwise Guardiola has a full strength squad. Bernardo Silva, Raheem Sterling, Joao Cancelo, Rodri and Phil Foden could all return to the starting XI, though Gabriel Jesus might not necessarily, even if Sergio Aguero is likely to drop out.
Nuno, meanwhile, will likely still be without Daniel Podence due to an abductor muscle, Raul Jimenez continues to rehabilitate from a fractured skull. Willy Boly picked up a knock in the draw against Newcastle and is therefore a doubt, with Fernando Marcal also set to miss this one.
Confirmed line-ups:
Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo; Rodri, B Silva, De Bruyne; Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez
Wolves: Patricio; Saiss, Coady, Hoever; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Semedo; Neto, Adama
Odds:
Man City: 1/7
Draw: 13/2
Wolves:
19/1
Prediction:
Who can back against Man City right now? Wolves will hope to capitalise on their form against Guardiola’s side, with back-to-back wins against the Citizens before being turned over in the reverse fixtures this season. But City are so versatile right now and can find many ways to win games, so we’ll lean towards another comfortable City win, 2-0 to the hosts.
