Wolves v Leicester: match preview

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

When Leicester beat Wolves on the opening day of the season it looked like Brendan Rodgers’ side were the more likely to make another tilt for the top four. But Leicester’s injury problems and Bruno Lage’s fine work have led to Wolves emerging as surprising challengers for a Champions League spot. That push will be helped by the fact that, in a rare occurrence this season, Lage has an almost fully fit squad to pick from this weekend. Leicester meanwhile, remain beset by injuries, including their entire first-choice defence. Paul Doyle
