Before the World Cup World Cup rolls around, City must ensure that they end up in the top five of the Premier League, while they are also looking for the FA Cup.
They are confronted with wolves on Friday and are reportedly stimulated by the return to the training of Star Striker Erling Haaland.
City defeated Wolves thanks to a final Gasp John Stones goal earlier this season, and Jorgen Strand Larsen, who scored six goals in his last six Premier League performances, admitted that it was a hurting defeat.
“It was a sad end to the game [at Molineux]And I felt that the first half of our season was, every game ended in a bad way, although we played a good game, “said Wolves's striker, who spoke with the official media channels of the club.
“We had a 1-0 lead for a long time, and then all three points went away at the end, so that was annoying. In this game it is difficult. It is one of the best teams in the world, great players, but we want to be ourselves, and we have to see after the game how it went.
“We can go there to win when we play a really good game, but we can also play and lose a good game. So the most important thing for us is to continue and try to be ourselves, to change nothing, and that is the message of the Gaffer, to be ourselves, not to try to be different.
“We want to keep the ball, try to go there and create something and be dangerous, but at the same time we have to see that they are not running over us with the good players.”
