After Kolo Toure canceled out Nenad Milijas' opener for Wolves, City went 4-1 ahead in the second half through Tevez's double and Yaya Toure's strike.

But Kevin Doyle and Ronald Zubar gave City a scare by reducing the deficit.

While City went a point ahead of United, its neighbor plays the first of three games in hand at Tottenham on Sunday.

Tottenham was dislodged from fourth place — temporarily at least — by Chelsea beating Blackburn 2-0 to halt a two-match winless streak.

Later, third-place Arsenal is at West Ham.
