    Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester City

    By Steve Wilson

    BBC Match of the Day commentator.

    TEAM NEWS

    Wolves goalkeeper Dorus de Vries is poised to make his first Premier League start for the club in place of the injured Wayne Hennessey.

    On-loan defender Sebastien Bassong is available after serving a one-game ban, while winger Matt Jarvis could be restored to the side.

    Manchester City are still without forward Mario Balotelli, who completes a three-match ban.

    Manager Roberto Mancini has reported no other injury concerns.

    MATCH PREVIEW

    On paper this must go down as one of the mismatches of the season.

    Manchester City are close to their best again, whacking 10 goals past West Brom and Norwich in the space of a few days, whilst Wolves are in a horrible spiral which is only taking them one way.

    Relegation could be confirmed this weekend, but there will be no lasting stay of execution. So much has been written about the wisdom or otherwise of sacking Mick McCarthy, and particularly the messy process of finding a replacement, so I won't add to it other than to point out that Wolves had hardly spent a day in the bottom three this season prior to McCarthy's dismissal.

    It may surprise some younger readers, but Wolves' record against Manchester City is actually rather good. They have won six of their last nine home league games against City stretching over the course of 30 years. The most recent was last season and nine of the 11 City players who started the 2 -1 defeat at Molineux then could very well be on show again; only Adebayor and Boateng are not around this time.

    By the time City kick off, they will know how Manchester United have done against Everton. No matter what Roberto Mancini says in public, he will be hoping that Everton can take something from Old Trafford. If Everton do avoid defeat, then a City win over Wolves would put then in a position to go top if they win their next game - the Manchester derby.

    For City there are twists and turns ahead - not so for Wolves.
