3 min Matheus Cunha breaks free on the left and cuts in … however loses his manner with the hit from exterior the realm, the shot wildly off course.
2 min Ederson’s move from the again helps Metropolis lower via the Wolves traces, the transfer ending with Rúben Dias having a crack from round 25 yards. It’s excessive and reasonably huge.

Preamble
Hey, hiya, hiya and welcome to some spicy Friday evening motion: essentially the most in-form workforce within the league towards, um, Manchester Metropolis.
Sure, Wolves are on a severe run with six consecutive victories. Whereas it’s value noting that every one of these groups sit under them within the desk, it’s nonetheless scientific work. After flirting with a relegation battle, they’re secure and sound below Vítor Pereira.
For Metropolis, the nice occasions are (kind of) rolling again. They’ve bought an FA Cup closing to stay up for after final weekend’s victory over Nottingham Forest, and a win tonight would take them third, inflicting Forest followers additional grief. However a slip up from Pep’s boys can be good for the neutrals, injecting a bit extra drama into the push for Champions League spots. After Liverpool’s title march and the distress of the underside three, allow us to really feel one thing. Please.
Kick-off’s at 8pm BST. Drop me a line along with your ideas, queries, worries, existential angst, no matter. Cheers!
