Follow all the action from Etihad Stadium
Follow live coverage as Manchester City face Wolverhampton Wanderers today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.
The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.
Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Manchester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves are in unbelievable form during this final stretch of the season. They have won six matches on the trot - the joint-longest of any side in the division as their 1-0 victory away to Manchester United was backed up by a comfortable 3-0 win over Leicester City at Molineux. Only once have they won six on the bounce in England's first division and that was over 80 years ago so Vitor Pereira's side are very close to making real history. Wolves have been fighting for survivial throughout the whole season but another victory would put them just one point behind Crystal Palace in 12th, who they are still to play away from home this season. Their recent form against City is pretty ugly however, with eight losses from their last nine matches after completing the double over Guardiola's men in the 2019/20 season.

Man City enjoyed two crucial results last week, as they edged a step closer to Champions League qualification with a late 2-1 win against Aston Villa and then reached their third FA Cup final in succession with victory over Nottingham Forest at Wembley. They did officially cede their control of the Premier League crown after a record-breaking four titles on the trot but Pep Guardiola's men have won their last three matches and are enjoying an upturn in form as we approach the end of the season. They can climb up to third with a win this evening, while it would also ensure four league wins a row since the very beginning of the season, which just goes to show how inconsistent City have been this campaign.
