Manchester City are preparing for crucial clash against Wolves this Saturday, eyeing another step towards securing the Premier League title.

Pep Guardiola's men, currently four wins away from lifting the trophy for the fourth consecutive season, faces stiff competition from Arsenal as the campaign enters their final stretch.

The reigning champions could potentially be trailing by four points, depending on Arsenal's result against Bournemouth earlier in the day.

However, City maintains a stronghold in the title race, poised to defend their domestic crown with victories against Wolves, Fulham, Tottenham, and West Ham.

Kick-off Date, Time and Venue

The match between Man City and Wolves is scheduled for a 5.30pm BST kick-off on Saturday, May 4, 2024, at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.
