Craig Pawson, the referee in charge of dispensing justice

The central referee in charge of the match will be the English central referee Craig Pawson, with his national and international experience, who will try to bring this match to a good end, where there will surely be a lot of friction and intensity.

Matheus Cunha, the leader of his herd

The 24-year-old Brazilian, Matheus Cunha is the scorer of these wolves with 11 celebrations in 29 games, having records of one goal every 201 minutes, 2.3 shots per game He adds seven assists as well, which support his good performances. On average, he adds 42.7 touches per game.

Erling Haaland moves to Manchester City

Manchester City's best player at the moment is the Norwegian, Erling Haaland with 21 goals in 27 games, scoring every 105 minutes. 0.8 goals per game, 3.9 shots per game; five assists, 22 touches per game. An important characteristic is his penalty kicks, which generally go to the bottom left.

Manchester City has dominated Wolves recently

In the last five matches, the record leans towards Manchester City, as they have won on four occasions, while Wolverhampton managed to win the remaining game. The locals start as favorites to take the three points in another Premier League matchday.

Wolves need to finish the season decently

Being in the middle of the table, surely has not been the result that Wolverhampton expected to achieve this season. The irregularity has marked the team coached by Gary O'Neil, who, although they have just won their most recent match, has as its main task to continue winning and gaining confidence to finish the tournament in a good way and think better things for the next campaign.

Manchester City wants the title

The team led by Pep Guardiola, after passing the bitter pill for not qualifying to the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League, has dedicated its efforts to try to achieve another of its main objectives: the Premier League. The small advantage that Liverpool and Arsenal have given him, although it has not been reflected in the table because they have a game pending, fills him with responsibility to maintain the winning path and he has no other option but to get the three points to keep the first option to be consecrated in a very tight race for the title.
