Leicester v Wolves

Leicester vs Wolves Preview

Leicester City were dealt a 4-0 rout at the hands of Newcastle United last weekend in the domestic top flight but The Foxes will at least hold home advantage for this Sunday afternoon's relegation battle against fellow strugglers Wolves in an east versus west midlands clash.

Wolves slumped to a fourth defeat on the trot in the Premier League last Saturday as they came off second best against Ipswich Town in a relegation clash and the west midlands face another lower table encounter away at Leicester City this Sunday without former manager Gary O'Neil who was shown the exit door following the loss on the weekend.

Leicester City sit just above the relegation zone ahead of this weekend's Premier League fixtures where they possess a two-point cushion above third from bottom Ipswich Town which was probably thanks to a 3-1 home win against West Ham a couple of weeks ago.

However, Leicester City have managed just this single win from their last eight matches overall in the top flight which also includes being handed five defeats within this period as well, so prospects of a home win here are not necessarily straightforward.

The goals market looks highly promising though as no fewer than 13 out of Leicester City's 16 games overall have resulted in both teams scoring.

Wolves parted ways with former coach Gary O'Neil following their recent 2-1 loss at home to fellow strugglers, Ipswich Town, which also became the west midlands club's fourth defeat on the trot, leaving the visitors five points adrift of their upcoming hosts, Leicester City, and safety.

Wolves had previously handed themselves what seemed to be a Premier League lifeline as the west midlands outfit had collected back-to-back wins against Southampton and Fulam in 2-0 and 4-1 victories respectively, but the visitors have since slipped back into their old ways.

Recent losses to the likes of Bournemouth, Everton, West Ham and Ipswich Town have dumped Wolves back into relegation trouble and they now face a tricky looking outing to the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon, looking for what could be only a second away win so far this season.

Having suffered 11 defeats within their total of 16 matches played to date this season, Wolves look to have their work cut out but again the goals market appeals here as 13 out of Wolves' last 16 matches have also resulted in both teams hitting the back of the net as well.

Leicester City v Wolves Verdict

Two out of the last three meetings between Leicester City and Wolves have resulted in both teams scoring while Leicester City have won the last two encounters, so The Foxes look set to grab an important win with both teams notching.
