City beat Wolves to seal their 21st successive victory ahead of the Manchester derby on Sunday
Manchester City struck three times in the last 10 minutes to beat Wolves 4-1 and secure their 21st consecutive victory in all competitions. The Premier League leaders were unexpectedly pegged back by a Conor Coady equaliser after opening the scoring through Leander Dendoncker’s own goal at the Etihad Stadium. Pep Guardiola’s side upped the tempo in the closing stages and reclaimed the lead when Gabriel Jesus fired home 10 minutes from time.
Manchester United fans have been told to expect a "realistic and responsible" approach to transfer business this summer by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. United currently sit second in the Premier League table, but sit 15 points off leaders Man City following a relentless 21-game winning streak for Pep Guardiola's side. The Red Devils are currently the best of the also-rans, but realistically need to strengthen at centre-back and up front - with Erling Haaland a target - if they are to entertain thoughts of a serious title challenge next season.

Roy Hodgson is finally able to look to brighter days ahead on the injury front as Crystal Palace. Jeffrey Schlupp, a key member of his squad who has been missing since early January, is back in the fold ahead of Wednesday, while the return of Wilfried Zaha to training will be a lift to everyone. After a drastic drop off in form, Palace went back to basics and kept things tight against Brighton and Fulham, snatching a smash and grab win on the south coast before a goalless draw against Scott Parker's side.
Manchester United will be able to welcome Edinson Cavani back for Wednesday’s trip to Crystal Palace. The Uruguayan was absent from the matchday squad as United and Chelsea played out a dour draw on Sunday, neither team hitting a 1.0 xG during the 90 minutes. Cavani has been out since the 1-1 draw at West Brom and posted on Sunday evening on Instagram that he was "eager to come back soon."

Roy Hodgson has urged Manchester United's Aaron Wan-Bissaka to learn from Jack Grealish and Wilfried Zaha and not shun an England career just yet. The Crystal Palace academy graduate faces intense competition to feature at right-back under Gareth Southgate and is reportedly considering a permanent switch to DR Congo, whom he represented at youth level. The 23-year-old has never made a senior appearance for England and was forced to withdraw from the only squad he was included in.
The result extended City’s lead at the top of the table to 15 point.
Joe Root says England expect to have a clean bill of health for the final Test against India on Thursday after a sickness bug laid members of the touring party low between matches.
