Man City

Manchester City fought back from 2-0 down to beat Tottenham Hotspur, but Pep Guardiola wasn't happy with what he saw from his team.

City can still catch Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table, but the comeback against Tottenham must be a catalyst for a more coherent second half of the season. The Norwegian has hit the ground running in the Premier League, but offers little in and out of possession. This is perhaps reflected in some of the statistics behind Manchester City’s 2022/23 campaign so far which show they are covering less ground per 90 minutes than they did last season and are also charting fewer out of possession actions per 90 minutes. Manchester City have been a dominant force under Guardiola, winning four Premier League titles in the last five years. He identified a lack of “passion and desire to run” as a problem and contrasted his own side to Arsenal who “have the fire” as the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss put it. Maybe it's the same with our team, maybe we are so comfortable with winning four Premier Leagues in five years.”

"We put a lot of pressure on City and created problems for them. We deserved the win." "We played a good game with personality," Spurs boss Antonio Conte told Sky Sports. We have come back from two goals behind in the past. All we had against us was the two goals we conceded. "When we came back, we were frustrated.

Pep Guardiola has bitten back at what he considers to be “bullsh*t” criticism of Manchester City, but admits his side are a “happy flowers team”.

There are many things that we are far away, far away. But we are far away from the team that we were. We are a happy flowers team, I don't want this.

- Wolves are the lowest scorers in the Premier League this season, netting just 12 goals in their 19 games so far. Nathan Collins was dismissed in the reverse fixture at Molineux this season. He’s scored in consecutive matches for the first time in the competition, with his last four goals being worth seven points to Wolves. They’re looking to win back-to-back league matches for the first time since March last season. After we scored a goal they react, but that is not the point.” - Wolves have won just four of their 17 Premier League games against reigning champions (D1 L12), losing the last five in a row. - Since losing both Premier League games against Wolves in 2019-20, Manchester City have won their last five in a row against them, scoring 16 goals and conceding just three. - Since their return to the Premier League in 2018, Wolves have received more red cards against Manchester City than they have against any other opponent in the competition (3), accounting for 33% of their total reds in that time (3/9). - Wolves have picked up just four points in eight Premier League visits to Manchester City (W1 D1 L6), with their one win there coming in October 2019. - Wolves have won two of their four Premier League games under Julen Lopetegui (D1 L1), as many as they had won in their previous 22 before his arrival (D6 L14).

He was the beating heart of the team. He worked the channels. He held the ball up. He left nothing out on the pitch. But, above all, he was a lovely, lovely lad. He was up and down on that right-hand side, again very reliable, very responsible. He could find anyone from that left hand side. And that’s what mattered the most! I know he got injured which forced him to retire early. You felt safe knowing he was behind you. I knew it’d be difficult to get the better of him every time I came up against him. He actually came on loan to Wolves in the 1986/87 season, where we just missed out on promotion in the Play-Offs, so I got to play alongside him.

Manchester City will attempt to build a run of form when they take on Wolves at the Etihad.

That being said, the Citizens will surely have too much for Wolves over 90 minutes. A handful of important players sat out the FA Cup defeat against Liverpool last time out and it is assumed that they were being kept fresh for this trip to Manchester. That means they could come into the starting lineup and add more firepower and freshness.
