Pep Guardiola&rsquo;s side are gathering momentum at the right time and a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at Wembley extended their winning run to four matches. <\/p><p>With three straight league wins propelling them into the top four, City now face a tough test against one of the league&rsquo;s in-form teams. Wolverhampton Wanderers arrive at the Etihad on the back of six successive victories &ndash; the best current run in the Premier League. Since taking over in December, Vitor Pereira has guided Wolves up to 13th and turned them into a formidable team.<\/p><p>City narrowly edged the reverse fixture 2-1 at Molineux thanks to a late John Stones goal.
