Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers lock horns at the King Power Stadium in a vital clash for both sides mired in the Premier League relegation battle. With both teams under relatively new management, this game presents a chance to reset after disappointing starts to the season.
Wolves, now led by Vitor Pereira following the sacking of Gary O’Neil, aim to end a four-match losing streak. Leicester, under Ruud van Nistelrooy, are also seeking consistency after a heavy 4-0 loss to Newcastle United last week.
Leicester City Team News
Leicester could be forced into changes, with Mads Hermansen a major doubt following his early exit against Newcastle. His understudy, Danny Ward, is expected to deputise, although fans remain sceptical of his form.
Boubakary Soumare is available again after serving a suspension, while Wilfred Ndidi continues to edge closer to a return. Facundo Buonanotte is tipped to start after only making the bench last weekend. Jamie Vardy, despite nearing his 38th birthday, remains integral to Leicester’s attack.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Team News
Rayan Aït-Nouri is suspended after his dismissal during post-match fracas last weekend, while Matheus Cunha awaits the FA's decision following an off-field altercation. Joao Gomes is back from suspension, offering midfield reinforcement.
Pereira might stick to a back three, similar to his system at Al-Shabab, but will need defensive improvements to curb Wolves’ vulnerability from set pieces. Pablo Sarabia and Boubacar Traore are nearing returns, but Jose Sa’s form could see him remain benched even if fit.
