But having picked up nine points against the big six, Wolves remain 11th going into their Monday Night Football clash at the Etihad - a sign of their struggles against lesser opposition, but a warning for City nonetheless.

Disappointingly for Wolves, a draw at Arsenal was followed by a home defeat to Huddersfield, victory at Chelsea was preceded by a 2-1 loss at Cardiff, while another home defeat against Crystal Palace came after an impressive 3-1 win at Tottenham.
