Manchester City will aim to take another giant step towards Premier League glory when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Wednesday evening.
After suffering Champions League semi-final heartache at the hands of Real Madrid, Pep Guardiola's side responded in perfect fashion by thumping Newcastle United 5-0.
With Liverpool dropping points in a 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, City are now three points clear of the Merseyside giants, who could return to the top of the table with victory and a four-goal swing against Aston Villa on Tuesday.
