FULL TIME! MANCHESTER CITY 1-0 WOLVES
City hold out for a hugely important win that moves them into third, and puts them in pole position to qualify for the Champions League.
It'd be hard to back against them from here.
23 hours ago23:50
Wolves get the ball into the box but City clear it away.
Kitchen sink being thrown here now.
23 hours ago23:49
Into added time here. Can Wolves find an equaliser?
23 hours ago23:43
Cunha is off, which is a bit odd, with Hwang Hee-Chan on for him.
23 hours ago23:41
Pep rolls on the subs, with academy duo Foden and Rico Lewis on in place of Marmoush, and De Bruyne.
The Belgian unsurprisingly gets a huge ovation on his second last game at the Etihad.
23 hours ago23:36
Little over 10 left, and no sign of Haaland.
23 hours ago23:31
Aït-Nouri puts the foot in on Bernardo, but there is no punishment after a review.
one day ago23:26
Marmoush fires over after good work from Doku, De Bruyne and Bernardo.
How Pep would love a second with 20 minutes to go.
one day ago23:24
Rodrigo Gomes and Pablo Sarabia are on for Wolves in place of Matt Doherty and Bellegarde.
Sarabia scored the winner on the red side of Manchester a few weeks ago. An equaliser on the blue side is what's required now.
one day ago23:18
Manuel Akanji is on for O'Reilly.
Another impressive showing from the City youngster.
one day ago23:14
OFF THE POST!!
You felt if Wolves were to score, it would come from Matheus Cunha, and he's just cracked the post with a brilliant effort from the left-hand side of the box.
So close.
one day ago23:13
Even enough start to the second half, with Wolves looking for a way back into the game.
It can't be long before we see Haaland.
one day ago23:02
And we're back under way. Big 45 ahead, and you know Newcastle, Chelsea, Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa fans will have their fingers crossed for a Wolves goal or two.
one day ago22:57
How will City replace KDB?
Sure, he's not the force of old, but who will take up the mantle as the go-to creative force?
Phil Foden is the obvious internal solution, but could Florian Wirtz be the subject of a big bid this summer?
one day ago22:47
HALF TIME!
De Bruyne's goal separates the two sides, and his goal changed the game entirely.
Wolves looked the more likely to score for much of the half, but City have looked more like their old selves since the skipper scored.
one day ago22:46
Doku has been City's standout in the first half.
Every time he gets the ball, he tries to make something happen.
What a fun player to watch, he is.
one day ago22:45
O'Reilly gets in behind but he's too far away from goal, and José Sá ushers him away.
one day ago22:42
That goal has unsurprisingly settled City down, and they are passing the ball with more verve now.
one day ago22:39
City are into third as stands.
A win tonight would put them within touching distance of the Champions League.
one day ago22:37
GOOOALLL! CITY TAKE THE LEAD!
And it's that man again, Kevin De Bruyne.
It's more fine play from Doku, who cuts the ball across the box for his fellow Belgian to fire home.
Slightly against the run of play, but a big goal.
one day ago22:34
Nico O'Reilly has their first sight of goal, firing over inside the box after good wing play from Doku.
one day ago22:33
City are yet to going, and lucky to be level.
They're yet to have a shot on target. Might Erling Haaland be called for earlier than he might have expected?
one day ago22:30
ANOTHER HUGE CHANCE FOR WOLVES!
So close yet again.
Rayan Aït-Nouri hits the post with a left-footed shot from inside the box, and somehow City don't concede from the follow up.
They are living very dangerously.
one day ago22:26
Jérémy Doku is always lively, and Wolves are doubling up on him.
He's taken down on the wing, and it probably won't be for the first time.
one day ago22:24
WHAT A CHANCE!
Oh you just have to score that.
Wolves play the ball through City's high line, and it's two on one.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde makes an absolute mess of an easy square ball, and it goes past the despairing dive of Marshall Munetsi.
one day ago22:22
Bernardo Silva is also making his 400th appearance for City, all of which have come under Pep Guardiola since joining in 2017.
What a signing he has been.
one day ago22:21
Wolves are defending in numbers, with City looking to find space for Kevin De Bruyne and Omar Marmoush.
one day ago22:09
Lively start here with both sides looking to play.
Wolves come into the game as the form side in the league with a stunning six wins on the spin.
one day ago22:02
KICK OFF!
And we're under way at the Etihad.
one day ago21:59
We're moments away from kick-off here on a lovely night in Manchester.
one day ago21:59
Manchester City and Wolves meet at the Etihad Stadium in a crucial game in the race for Champions League qualification.
City currently sit in fourth, just a point behind third-placed Newcastle but also just a point ahead of Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.
