Wolves
Manchester City welcome Wolverhampton to their Etihad Stadium in what will be a very important match for Pep Guardiola’s troops, who aim to stay in the title race. The Citizens failed to impress in the Manchester derby, but they are seen as hot favourites to beat the Wolves in front of home fans. Since Pep Guardiola can count on key players for Sunday’s clash, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Ruben Dias and John Stones should be the only absentees in the home team.
Meanwhile, the visitors recorded a very important win over West Ham United in front of home fans, but they will have a mountain to climb at Etihad Stadium. Since Man City defeated Wolverhampton in each of their last five meetings in the English top flight, Bruno Lage’s men are unlikely to claim a major scalp in round 21. Boubacar Traore, Pedro Neto, Sasa Kalajdzic, and Chiquinho are all sidelined with injuries, but Diego Costa should be fit for the match.
Highlighted Player (Nathan Ake):
Ake is a professional footballer who plays for the Dutch National Team and AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League. The versatile defender who was born on the 18th of February, 1995, started his youth career in 2003 with local club ADO Den Haag.

Upon his return, he immediately joined Watford on a season-long loan where his displays earned him the Watford's young player of the season award. Another successful loan spell at Bournemouth succeeded his time at Watford before Chelsea recalled him in January 2017.
At the start of the 17/18 season, the 24-year-old rejoined his current club Bournemouth permanently on a five-year contract worth 20 million pounds. On the International stage, Ake has represented the Netherlands at every youth level and has even captained the under-17 and under-19 sides.
