Wolves v Leicester: match preview

Wolves v Leicester
Wolves v Leicester: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: X

Wolves returned to winning ways after eight games thanks to a large slice of David Luiz-shaped luck on Tuesday but face a much trickier task in trying to earn another victory against Leicester. Brendan Rodgers could welcome back Jamie Vardy and Wilfred Ndidi, arguably his two best players, to a squad already flush with talent, to continue his side’s push for a return to the Champions League. Leicester are in a strong position to qualify but this is a game they must win to avoid the bitter disappointment of missing out last season. Nuno Espírito Santo may be minded to hold his side back before a winnable FA Cup fifth round tie with Southampton. Graham Searles
