Premier League: Manchester City vs Wolves 24/01/2026

Betting on Goals

Ok so we come to two teams that both messed up my predictions last weekend. Man City by managing to somehow lose to Man Utd and Wolves by drawing against Newcastle. I was taken aback by City losing that derby which seemed ready made for them to rub salt into  United fans wounds. Instead they never really looked like they got going, so perhaps United did just need a change of manager. That result has left City looking a long way off the title and alongside Aston VIlla’s appalling home loss to Everton, no one capitalised on Arsenal’s draw with Forest. I think the title is now the Gunners going forward bar the shouting, yes Im calling it that early, but I can’t see this Man City side getting the points they need if they can’t get past a United team away like that. All that said Guardolia teams have always shown to be strong bullies of weaker sides and this home game should be well set up for them to “bounce back” with a high scoring win over the Premier League’s bottom club. Wolves have obviously shown a bit of bite recently with a recent win over West Ham, the draw with Newcastle plus a 6-1 cup hammering of little Shrewsbury. They will obviously enter this game with more confidence, but I think they are running into a wounded, angry animal in Man City and I can only see this going one way a big win for the blue half of Manchester. I think the defence will have been read the riot act too so ignore the low value on a City win and instead go for BTTS – NO
