Julian Alvarez (86 mins)
Manchester City have a fifth!
Julian Alvarez scores on his 100th game for Manchster City after being played clean through, calmly slotting into the far corner.
Toti Gomes had given the ball away in a very dangerous area in the build-up. The story of Wolves' evening that.

He really isn't it! Haaland is chuntering on the bench, he's not pleased with being taken off at all.

Haaland is not happy at all.

Boos from the home fans and a shake of the head from Erling Haaland. He won't be getting five goals today as he's replaced by Julian Alvarez.

We know what you get from Foden and Bernardo Silva, very consistent and that is why Manchester City are at the top of the league win trophies. They are very talented.

Some changes for both sides. For Wolves Pablo Sarabia replaces Matheus Cunha.
And for City, on come Jeremy Doku, Matheus Nunes and Jack Grealish. Off come Bernardo Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden.

Oooh Wolves have a rare chance! But it goes harmlessly over the bar.

Really out of my depth with these reference guys!
Just you wait until Doctor Who returns though. Those Euros lives are gonna be full of Gallifrey references.

Forget May the fourth, Haaland is going for Revenge of the Fifth!

Kevin De Bruyne leads a Manchester City attack for the umpteenth time and feeds the ball to Bernardo Silva, but his cross into the middle is a little behind Erling Haaland who can't get any power on to his header.
Easy save for Jose Sa.

Haha thanks for giving me the heads up Coley!

Star Wars is about the underdog fighting back against the Empire, a bit like the rest of the PL against Manchester City!

Fifteen minutes plus stoppages. The results isn't in any sort of doubt.

City are great to watch but it is too easy for them. Some of these Wolverhampton Wanderers players, looking at their body language, are probably asking how long until full-time.

Top, top save from Jose Sa as the corner drops to Mateo Kovacic but the Wolves keeper improvises well to keep out the Croatian's low shot.

City keep coming. Phil Foden has a shot blocked behind for a corner.

Wolves make a change. Santiago Bueno replaces Hugo Bueno.

Haaland lined that with a bicycle kick, he looked like he was going to connect until that touch from Toti. He was flying through the air.
Man City 4-1 Wolves
So nearly a screamer! Erling Haaland eyes up a fifth as he attempts to meet Phil Foden's cross with a bicycle kick, but, as the ball drops, Toti Gomes gets a crucial touch to head the ball over the striker's boot.
Man City 4-1 Wolves
Do you know, I've never seen Star Wars. Any good?

Manchester City have won seven of their last eight home Premier League matches against Wolves, losing the other 2-0 in October 2019.
Since completing a league double over Man City in 1960-61, Wolves have managed just one top-flight double over the Citizens in 25 seasons, doing so in the 2019-20 campaign. They beat them 2-1 earlier this season at Molineux.
Wolves have completed one Premier League double over Man City since Pep Guardiola joined the club in 2016, doing so in 2019-20. No side in Guardiola’s entire league managerial career has completed more than one double over the Spaniard.
Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 19 Premier League games (W15 D4). They’ve already had four runs of 20+ without defeat in the competition (3 under Pep Guardiola), and could be the second side to do so five times after Manchester United (7).
Manchester City are unbeaten in their last 31 games in all competitions (W25 D6). The last Premier League team to have a longer run were Manchester United, who went 33 games without defeat between December and May in the 1998-99 campaign.
Wolves’ 2-1 win over Luton last time out ended a six-game winless run in the Premier League (D2 L4). Only twice this season have they had runs of consecutive victories, winning three in a row in December and two in a row in February.
All five of Wolves’ Premier League away wins this season have been against either teams starting the day in the relegation zone (2) or London clubs (3). They’ve lost 18 of their 20 Premier League away games against sides in the top two, winning the others at Tottenham (December 2018) and Man City (October 2019).
Man City’s Kevin De Bruyne has started six Premier League matches against Wolves and has both scored five goals and assisted five goals against them, although nine of those involvements came at Molineux (5 goals, 4 assists).
Kevin De Bruyne’s two assists in Man City’s 2-0 win against Nottingham Forest last time out took his overall tally in the Premier League to 110; he’s now just one behind second placed Cesc Fàbregas in the all-time ranking in the competition.
Both Hwang Hee-chan and Matheus Cunha have scored 11 Premier League goals for Wolves this season. There’s been just three occasions of a player scoring more for the club in a campaign – Steven Fletcher in 2011-12 (12), and Raúl Jiménez in 2018-19 (13) and 2019-20 (17).
