Man City predicted line-up vs Wolves as Ederson decision made amid Doku call

Manchester City welcome Wolves to the Etihad Stadium on Friday evening looking to maintain their push towards qualifying for next season's Champions League.

City start the weekend inside the top five and have their fate in their own hands with four games remaining. They could wrap up qualification as early as next weekend if results fall in their favour but that must begin with a victory over an in-form Wolves side.

No side in Europe's top six leagues are in greater form than Vitor Pereira's side, who head to the Etihad Stadium on the back of six successive wins.

However, City are unbeaten in eight matches themselves and will be buoyed from last weekend's 2-0 FA Cup semi-final win over Nottingham Forest.

Despite setting up a final against Crystal Palace later this month, City's focus is now firmly on the final four Premier League games and it is difficult to see how Pep Guardiola will justify making too many changes to the side who beat Forest.

Ederson was back on the bench at Wembley and he could be recalled to the starting XI at the expense of Stefan Ortega.

The back four of Matheus Nunes, Ruben Dias, Josko Gvardiol and Nico O'Reilly looks settled now and despite Manu Akanji's return to fitness it seems unlikely Guardiola will mix things up at the back.

Mateo Kovacic put in his best display in a City shirt at Wembley, while Rico Lewis backed up Guardiola's decision to start him in midfield with a goal. As such, they should continue at the base of the City midfield.

Guardiola may be tempted to mix up things in attack. Omar Marmoush will lead the line up front but who will make up the three players behind him remains to be seen.

Bernardo Silva was excellent at Wembley and may keep Kevin De Bruyne on the bench. Savinho
