Confirmed line-ups as Erling Haaland is named on the bench


Manchester City will hope to put the pressure on the teams involved in the race for a top-five finish by beating Wolves tonight.

Pep Guardiola’s men can move up to third with a win at the Etihad as they look to maintain their recent improved form that has seen them record four successive victories in league and cup.

They are unlikely to find it easy against a Wolves side who will head north in confident mood.

Vitor Pereira has transformed Wolves’ season with six successive wins moving them away from the lower reaches and into the comfort of mid-table.

The big news for Manchester City is the return of leading scorer Erling Haaland.

The Norway international has not played since March 30 due to an ankle injury but is included among the substitutes.

Guardiola makes four changes to the side that beat Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup semi-finals last weekend.

Ederson returns in goal while Ilkay Gundogan, Kevin De Bruyne and Jeremy Doku are all included.

Stefan Ortega, Rico Lewis, Jack Grealish and Savinho drop to the bench.

Manchester City: Ederson, Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Gundogan, Silva, Kovacic, Doku, De Bruyne, Marmoush
