Chasing Champions League qualification, Manchester City will face an in-form Wolverhampton Wanderers in a Premier League clash on Friday.
The Citizens secured their place in the FA Cup final for the third consecutive time after beating Nottingham Forest 2-0 in the semi-final clash on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola's side is doing phenomenally well in the Premier League competition; they secured their sixth victory after picking an impressive 2-1 win over Aston Villa in a thriller encounter. They are chasing a top five finish, currently placed at the fourth spot with 61 points.
On the other hand, Wolves are coming into this clash on the back of a stunning Premier League form. They have a six-match winning streak, with their latest victory coming against Leicester City. They will look to go full throttle against the injury-affected Man City side.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Man City vs. Wolves lineups, team news
Rico Lewis excelled on a rare start in midfield against Forest in the cup semifinal and it remains to be seen whether Guardiola's selection of the youngster was match-specific. If not, he has surely done enough to keep his shirt.
Kevin De Bruyne was on the bench at Wembley and is likely to return to the starting lineup to continue his farewell tour, while James McAtee should also come back in, having started and impressed in each of City's past two home games against Aston Villa and pending cup-final foes Crystal Palace.
John Stones and Nathan Ake remain sidelined alongside Erling Haaland, Rodri and Oscar Bobb, but Ederson should return behind a defensive line that has clearly benefitted from having settled personnel for the first time this season.
Man City predicted XI (4-2-2-2, right to left): Ederson (GK) — Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly — Kovacic, Silva — De Bruyne, Lewis — McAtee, Marmoush.
Injured: Haaland (ankle), Ake (muscle), Stones (thigh), Rodri (ACL), Bobb (hamstring)
Suspended: None
Wolves have their remaining cluster of long-term injuries, but attacking duo Hwang Hee-chan and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde returned to the bench for the 3-0 win against Leicester City last time out.
Matt Doherty was back in the starting XI following a setback of his own and suffered no ill effects.
Matheus Cunha will carry Wolves' main threat and scored his 18th goal of the season in all competitions last weekend. Speculation persists that he could join Manchester United at the end of the season.
Wolves predicted XI (3-4-3, right to left): Sa (GK) — Doherty, Agbadou, T. Gomes — Semedo, J. Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri — Munetsi, Strand Larsen, Cunha.
Injured: Mosquera (knee), Kalajdzic (ACL), Gonzalez (ACL), Chiwome (ACL), Johnstone (muscular), Lima (foot, doubt)
Suspended: None
