Newcastle dominated Leicester 4-0 at St. James' Park, handing Ruud Van Nistelrooy his first Premier League loss. Leicester struggled in all areas, failing to test the Magpies' keeper, while Isak and Murphy capitalized on defensive vulnerabilities. Despite other top teams facing tough North East trips, Leicester's performance was concerning. Meanwhile, Wolves, after sacking their manager following a string of losses and internal squad conflicts, appointed Vitor Pereira. Wolves' struggles stem from selling key players without adequate replacements, leaving Pereira with a significant challenge.

Head to Head Record - Both teams have played each other 12 times. Leicester has won 5, Wolves has won 3, with 4 games ending in a stalemate. The Foxes have scored 17 goals against the other midland team. Wolves have scored 12 goals against the Foxes. 

Current Standings : Leicester are 2 points from safety, sitting in 17th position. Wolves are in a perilous position themselves in 19th, having amassed 9 points from 16 games. 

Leicester City Preview

The King Power has proved to be a fortress for the Foxes. They are now, in 6 Premier League home games unbeaten against Wolves - winning 4, drawing 2 and conceding just a solitary goal. Ruud Van Nisteelroy will be confident of going into this game on the back of winning three consecutive games at the King Power. 

Both sides tend to score more at the Molineux (21 in 6 games). As opposed to the other side of the midlands (7). The Foxes possess a good record against teams in the relegation zone. They’ve won 12 of 14 games against sides in the relegation zone - drawing one, losing one. Jamie Vardy will be looking to get on the score sheet, as his side have now scored in all eight Premier League home games. 

 Leicester City are ranked 15th in ball possession with 45.6% averaging 9.1 shots per game. The Foxes score an average of 1.31 goals per match with a shooting accuracy of 35%. Bryan Mbeumo is the top scorer with 10 goals. Yoane Wissa has also scored 9 goals this season. The team has an average of 4.2 saves per game, the 3rd best in the season. They have conceded an average of 2.13 goals per match.

Injury - Stolarczyk, Fatawu, Winks, Ndidi and Pereira are out injured. 

Leicester Probable 11 - Hermansen (GK), Justin, Coady, Vestergaard, Kristiansen (DEF), Skipp, Choudhury, McAteer, El Khannouss, Mavididi (MID), Vardy (FWD). 

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Preview

Wolves are currently enduring the worst run to their Premier League season with only 9 points and 40 goals conceded in 16 games. They’ve also registered the single most defeats in their calendar year since 2012 in 21 games - winning only 7 and drawing 6. The incoming manager has work to do in strengthening the back line and showing more attacking prowess. 

Hold up play for a striker is immense. As an attribute more and more managers are giving credit to number 9’s for using their strength to shield the ball. Strand Larsen is proving slowly worth his price tag, holding up play more than any other player in the competition (25). Only one Wolves player has scored more goals i.e. Raul Jimenez. Matheus Cunha is 18 goals short of breaking that target, but the midfielder is doing all he can to keep this team afloat. 

The are ranked 14th in ball possession with 46.2% averaging 11 shots per game. The Wolves score an average of 1.50 goals per match with a shooting accuracy of 39%. Chris Wood is the top scorer with 10 goals. Callum Hudson-Odoi and Nikola Milenkovic have also scored 2 goals each this season. The team has an average of 3.1 saves per game, the 10th best in the season. They have conceded an average of 2.50 goals per match.

Injury - Gonzalez, Traore, Kalajdzic, Mosquera, Sarabia and Sa are all receiving treatment. 

Wolves Probable 11 - Johnstone (GK), Semedo, Bueno, Gomes, (DEF), Doherty, Andre, Lemina, Ait-Nouri (MID), Bellegarde, Cunha, Strand-Larsen (FWD).

Leicester, improving under their new manager, will likely beat struggling Wolves. Leicester are strong at home and Wolves are unstable after recent events and a managerial change. Leicester's in-form striker will be a key factor.
