Manchester City will play two home and two away games in their final four fixtures of the season. Here is a table denoting their remaining fixtures in the Premier League:
| Date | Opponent | Venue |
| Sat, 3 May 2025 | Wolverhampton Wanderers | Home (Etihad Stadium) |
| Sat, 10 May 2025 | Southampton | Away (St Mary’s Stadium) |
| Sun, 18 May 2025 | Bournemouth | Home (Etihad Stadium) |
| Sun, 25 May 2025 | Fulham | Away (Craven Cottage) |
Bournemouth who has sparked confidence this season could be a tough cookie for Guardiola. However, with the support of Etihad, Manchester City will still go as the most likely team to win the clash. Moreover, Fulham away could also put some tests on Guardiola’s table later in May.
Manchester City has won eight of their last games against Wolves and six against Southampton. Having a stellar record against the opponents, Manchesy City will go in as clear favourites for all of these matchups. Additionally, with most of his attacking prowess at his service, Guardiola should also be able to rotate his squad keeping the FA Cup fixtures in mind.
