TEAMS PREVIEW

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Preview

Vitor Pereira's Wolves are on fire, notching their fifth straight win with a stunning triumph at Old Trafford. Manchester United were the latest victims of their late-season surge, as Wolves turned up the heat and walked away with all three points. 

Furthermore, Wolves’ red-hot run under Vitor Pereira hit a historic high as they matched a feat not seen since the 1970/71 season—five top-flight wins on the bounce. Now level on points with Manchester United, a top 10 finish is no longer a dream, but a real possibility.

From Hopeless to Fearless: Wolves’ Remarkable Revival Under Pereira

Wolves looked doomed when Vitor Pereira took charge in December—nine points from 17 games and 17 adrift of safety. Years of poor recruitment had left them on life support, and fans feared the worst. But Pereira sparked a revival few saw coming. Since his debut, only four clubs have outperformed Wolves’ 29-point haul in 17 matches.

As Wolves prepared for their Molineux clash, the future of talisman Matheus Cunha was the talk of the town. His stellar performances this season, including 14 Premier League goals, have caught the eye of bigger clubs. Only Raul Jimenez (17 goals in 2019-20) has netted more for Wolves in a single campaign. Against Leicester, Matheus Cunha has a good record, netting two goals in as many games.

With Sa and Johnstone sidelined, Daniel Bentley will step up to guard the goal for Saturday’s clash. Meanwhile, Wolves will be missing key players Hwang Hee-chan, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, and Pedro Lima, testing their depth ahead of the big game.

Wolverhampton Probable XI - Bentley (GK); Agbadou, Toti, Bueno; Semedo, Andre, Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Munetsi, Cunha; Larsen

Leicester City Preview

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s nightmare run with Leicester stretched to 23 losses this season after another tough defeat. The only silver lining? They made Liverpool work hard for their win in the last match, showing glimpses of resilience amid the struggles. 

With survival now hinging on finishing above Ipswich in the highest relegation spot, Leicester face an uphill battle. Their 10-game winless streak in the Premier League speaks volumes, but their only two wins in 2025 have come away from home. The Foxes have struggled to find the net, managing just six goals in their last 18 Premier League matches—every single one coming away from home. 

Jamie Vardy pulled no punches after Leicester’s loss to Liverpool, calling the season a "total embarrassment" and vowing to restore some pride against Wolves. All eyes will be on the veteran striker, who has three goals and two assists in 10 Premier League appearances against them with his last goal coming in a 1-0 win in the 2020-21 season.

Team News 

Ruud van Nistelrooy has no fresh injury concerns, aside from long-term absentee Abdul Fatawu. However, the status of Harry Winks remains uncertain, with the midfielder sidelined recently due to disciplinary issues, adding some mystery to the Foxes’ lineup.

Leicester City Probable XI - Hermansen(GK); Pereira, Coady, Faes, Thomas; Ndidi, Soumare; Ayew, El Khannouss, Mavididi; Daka

Winning Prediction

Over the years, matches between these two sides have often been tight, but this one feels different—it’s shaping up to go one way. When two teams with little to play for clash, it either becomes a dull, low-scoring affair or an all-out thriller. However, Wolves are still battling to finish above Spurs and Man United, and with Pereira’s in-form squad, we expect them to breeze past the struggling Foxes.
