Bernardo Silva is in acres of space on the edge of the box and he turns sharply when it's fizzed into him.

He tries to curl it into the top, far corner and it's not too far away.

Teasing effort from Joao Cancelo, who drills one over the bar from 25 yards.

He wasn't closed down at all!

The away fans sing "Bruno Lage's barmy army" and the Wolves side respond.

Raul Jimenez hooks it over the top for Adama Traore to chase and he obviously wins it.

It comes back to Jimenez in the middle, moved over to the right but eventually the cross rolls through to Ederson.

Ilkay Gundogan's corner is a poor one. Nelson Semedo can chest it down and pump it away at the near post.

City have started off well. A burst from Rodri in the middle opens up some space.

Bernardo Silva feeds in Joao Cancelo on the overlap and they have a corner.

Manchester City are one of five clubs who will be trialling safe standing from 1 January.

Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham will also do it in the Premier League and Cardiff in the Championship.

There are plenty standing in that section today.

Ooh nice ball over the top for Raheem Sterling, who goes down under pressure from Romain Saiss.

The Wolves defender did well to get across and stop the shot.

Bernardo Silva tries to pick out Raheem Sterling but it's intercepted by Wolves. Joao Moutinho can't retain possession in the middle though.

Off we go!

Max Kilman is making his 50th appearance for Wolves today. Raheem Sterling is one off 100 Premier League goals too.

There's two points separating league leaders Manchester City and third-placed Chelsea, with Liverpool sandwiched in between.

City cannot afford to drop points today.

It helps, like with City's backline, when you've got someone who's sat there waiting to come in if you don't perform. You might not like that as a player but that's what a manager demands and wants - it's how you get the best out of a player.

Someone has to be under pressure, someone has to know that if they don't play well, they're going to be out the team and I think that's helped City.

If Wolves came out against City they'd get picked off. With Adama Traore and Raul Jiminez up front they'll look to counter at pace.

It's always hard at the Etihad, this team is unbelievable. I've just seen them doing a possession drill down in the corner, I've never seen anything like it, one and two-touch. I'd be in the middle constantly.

The talent they have on show in the whole squad is absolutely remarkable.

This guy is absolutely sorted.

It's freezing in Manchester (obviously) but a pie and a santa hat will do the trick.

Manchester City were able to rest a few players against RB Leipzig on Tuesday because they were already through to the last 16 of the Champions League as group winners.

So, I don't think that defeat or poor performance will stop the momentum City have been building in the past few weeks with a run of five successive Premier League wins that has taken them to the top of the table.

Wolves don't give much away but they can't score either - they've only managed to find the net once in their past five games. I can't see them troubling City too much.

Prediction: 4-0

Wolves are going to have their hands full today.

Manchester City have been in fantastic form - Tuesday's Champions League defeat aside.

Phil Foden has scored 21 goals and assisted 15 since the start of last season.

Bernardo Silva has scored six goals in his last eight Premier League appearances. He is the top scoring midfielder in the league.

Gabriel Jesus has also netted five goals in three starts against Wolves, while Raheem Sterling is chasing his 100th in the competition.
