Lawro's Prediction for Manchester City v Wolves

[carlos tevez is a blue]

What gets me is every1's saying it's only early and only 9 games played! Is it just me or do'es any1 else think 5 points clear now maybe 15/20 by the end of the season?

Steady on fella.

3-0 would do me.

Clean sheet is important!

Manchester City v Wolverhampton Wanderers

Manchester City made 11 changes when these two sides met in the Carling Cup in midweek, so their boss Roberto Mancini is clearly going to reload the side that thrashed United last weekend when they meet again on Saturday - which is unlucky for Wolves manager Mick McCarthy.

I am totally on McCarthy's side in terms of his reaction to the treatment he got from fans in last week's draw with Swansea, when they chanted 'you don't know what you're doing' at him after he made changes of personnel and tactics.

He got himself out a hole by pulling that game from 0-2 to 2-2 and is very much still the man for the job at Molineux, but I cannot see him getting anything from this trip to the Etihad Stadium.

City's win at Old Trafford will have reverberated around Europe, not just the Premier League, but the only thing I would say about the 6-1 scoreline is that it was only 1-0 when United had Jonny Evans sent off and those three late goals which gave it such a resounding look were because United were still trying to get something from the game with 10 minutes left.

It is a sea-change result, no doubt about it. But just because they have won at Old Trafford and scored six goals, City have not won the league.

They are clear at the top, which is a new situation for them, so forget about the euphoria for a while because for now they just need to keep winning. I think they will beat Wolves but I think it will be much tighter than their 5-2 win in the Carling Cup.

Prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers

So let's just forget the fact that Mario was clean through and certain to score when evans dragged him back, and the fact that most of our goals this season have been scored in the 2nd half whether it's against 10 or 11. Yeah let's forget the euphoria just like when the rags tanned arsenals kids 8-2.

Rather it be 2-0 than 3-1 clean sheets an all that:-)

Except for "goals scored " column.

Prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers

not sure how lawro's logic works - predicting 3-1 City against Wolves who came back well to draw 2-2 at home against his prediction for spurs 3 - 0 against QPR who did so well against Chelski

 

[Markie07]

Would love just a 1-0 game give the lads a break for the big one on Wednesday night keep us fresh

But saying that i can see the headlines Sunday "city in goal shocker" have city lost it with scoring only one goal blah blah blah they need tevez back.

But hey we are used to it now so let them bring it.

Well as some of you know from my posts under the wolves topic I'm a wolves fan (proud to be too, we do well with the resources we have got)
I think we will lose 4-1 to city, I'm still a realist!
There is no pressure on us though cos we are expected to lose, infact we are expected to lose quite considerably.
We have more pressure on us playing teams such as WBA, Swansea, Wigan, Norwich etc etc
Rather than the top four. In fact to be honest our 'big game' is not this Saturday against city but the following weekend against Wigan!

6-2 City. This club can't keep a clean sheet for some reason. But once Wolves start to push forward we will open them up. Mm is a great manager but his team packed 10 against Swansea and still were opened up.

Yep we're bleedin hopeless defensively only kept 4 clean sheets in league so far and we've played 9 games absolute shite that is, teams are just tearing us to pieces at the moment god knows how were 5 points clear for 33 against 7. Mancini better shape the team up or its the p45.
