Manchester City faces the first of the “Four Finals” when they organize wolves in form tomorrow night.
City has not had the season they would have anticipated and headed for the last weeks, scrapping for a place in the Champions League in which they had become accustomed to giving for granted.
They enter the weekend in the fourth position, with the first five winning a place among the European elite.
It has been argued that City has an easier encounter than many of its rivals, but there is nothing direct in a clash with wolves at this time.
Vitor Pereira has inspired a remarkable change in Molineux and Wolves will balance in the Etihad in the back of a six -game winning streak that has moved them away from the lower sections and in the middle of the table.
Congratulations, boss! 👏
Vitor is ready for the @Premierleague Manager of the month after a perfect April 🏆

The city head, Pep Guardiola said: “Four finals we have (in the Premier League), and we are going for the first.
“The quality they have, the way they play, courage. It is not a surprise; I think the wolves always had really in recent years, very good players and now they have an incredible career. It is quite similar to when Newcastle arrived (to Etihad) a month ago and Aston Villa Vino, so yes, another end! It is an important game that we have ahead of us.”
City fans will continue their protests against the availability of tickets and tomorrow’s price, but Guardiola urged them to support the team.
Added: “Come help us. We need them, because fans want the next season to play in the Champions League And be a better team that in this competition this season, to try to be what we have done for many, many years. Then we need them, desperately. Come help us from the first minute to the end. “
Jorgen Strand Larsen has been key to the good Wolves race with six goals in so many games.
He will begin again in the attack with Matheus Cunha and is ready for the challenge of facing the four times defenders.
The Norwegian told the official website of the club: “Upon entering this game, it will be difficult. It is one of the best teams in the world, great players, but we want to be ourselves, and we have to see after the game how it has left.
“We can go there to win if we play a really good game, but we can also play a good game and lose. So, the most important thing for us is to move forward and try to be ourselves, not change anything, and that is the gaffer message, to be ourselves, not try to try to be different. We want to keep the ball, treat there and create something and be dangerous, but at the same time, we should not see the best players.
There have been positive updates about the physical aptitude of the key men of the city, Rodri and Erling Haaland this week, but neither will be in shape for tomorrow night.
Pep 💬 We are really happy with Erling (Haaland) and Rodri are back in training sessions. The moment the physio and the doctor say they can start playing minutes, they will start playing. Doctors have to tell me. (They are) Difficult lesions: from seven to 11 months. Doctors … pic.twitter.com/sdi3gzktas

John Stones and Nathan Ake also remain marginalized.
The wolves have no fresh concerns and Pereira will probably retain the same initial XI that went beyond Leicester 3-0 last weekend.
Manchester City: Ortega; Nunes, Days, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Kovacic, by Bruyne, Silva; Foden, Savinho, Maroush
Lobos: SA; Doherty, Agbadou, Toti Gomes; Semedo, Gospel, Joys, Andrew; Munetsi, Sun, Strand Larsen
Manchester City V Wolves starts at 8pm at the time of the United Kingdom tomorrow night. You can see it on Sky Sports and transmit it on Sky Go.
This can be complicated for the city, since the wolves are flying.
But we believe they can have enough to overcome the line and press their rivals of the Champions League who play later this weekend.
Prediction: Manchester City 2-1 wolves
