History of the Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester City fixture

Man City face a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Sky Blues will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 28 and win only 10 of the 50 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in April 2002, as the visitors ran out cosy 0 - 2 winners in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Wolverhampton Wanderers are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. While Wolves have scored 5, a worringly large 11 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Man City however, is much more impressive, remaining unbeaten in their last six, winning five and drawing the one. Those games have seen the Sky Blues pummel 14 goals, and let in 5.

Wolves find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 7 games have yielded only 2 points. Man City find themselves in a respectable 5th position, courtesy of the 12 points they have accumulated from 7 games.
