Manchester City showcased their ruthless streak on both occasions, though, and one of the characteristics which has made them so impressive over the past season-and-a-half has been their ability to put teams outside the traditional top six to the sword.It is what made successive defeats to Crystal Palace and Leicester City either side of Christmas so surprising, and Guardiola will be just as wary of Wolves having already dropped points to them this season.However, City are unbeaten in their last 34 home league games against promoted sides – a run which includes 30 wins and stretches all the way back to February 2007.A whopping 16 goals without reply in their last two outings suggests that they will be a huge threat going forward as ever too, and City have scored at least twice in each of their last 12 Premier League home games.

Only a draw would be needed for City to regain second place should that be the case, but any dropped points in this season’s title race are likely to be punished and so only a win will do once again for the champions.
