Connor: Now a good time to play City

Wolves interim manager Terry Connor believes Manchester City will be ideal opponents for his relegation-threatened side tomorrow — because all the pressure will be on Roberto Mancini’s title-chasing team.

Wolves are eight points adrift of safety with four games remaining and their fate could be confirmed this weekend if they lose and other results go against them.

But, while Wolves have been virtually written off already, Connor knows the heat will be on City to close the gap on Manchester United.

He said: “Everyone will be thinking when City come here that they’ve got to win to keep the title race going.

“But no-one will be saying ’Wolves have got to win this one to stay in the league’ even though that is what we will be striving to do.

“That’s why possibly, the best team we could be facing is one of the top two. City could conceivably win four on the trot. But people don’t think we can do that because we haven’t done it all season.’’
