Wolves vs Leicester preview: Prediction, team news and lineups | OneFootball

Wolverhampton Wanderers are seeking to complete a first league-double over Leicester City since 1957/58, with the Foxes seeking back-to-back wins at Molineux, last achieving this in 1982.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leicester City preview

When Wolves won 3-0 at the King Power just before Christmas, they were actually in the relegation zone, two points below their Midlands rivals. Now, they're 20 points better off, mathematically safe from relegation, while Leicester City's spot in the EFL Championship has been confirmed.

That aforementioned win on Filbert Way was Vítor Pereira's first match as Wolverhampton Wanderers manager, and what a job he has done. Last Sunday, Pablo Sarabia's stunning late free-kick saw Wolves snatch victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

This mathematically secured the Old Gold's survival and, following wins over Southampton, Ipswich, West Ham and Spurs, means they've won five successive top division matches for the first time since 1970. This has propelled Wolves up to 15th, looking to end the day as high as 13th, above both Everton and Man United.

In contrast, Leicester City supporters didn't enjoy Easter Sunday as much. Their team's 1-0 home defeat at the hands of Liverpool confirmed the Foxes' relegation, having lost 16 of their last 18 Premier League fixtures.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's team have also now failed to score in nine successive home matches, a new, unwanted, English football league record, their most-recent goal at the King Power scored on 8 December, 139 days ago. Thus, most inside Molineux on Saturday, whether bedecked in old gold or blue, will probably be expecting to witness a home win.

Wolverhampton Wanderers team news

Last Sunday at Old Trafford, star attacker Matheus Cunha started for the first time in five matches, following an extended ban, expected to do so again, chosen over match-winner Pablo Sarabia.

At the back, fit again Santiago Bueno will get the nod over Matt Doherty, with José Sá returning in goal, after suffering an injury in the warm-up against Man United, which saw Dan Bentley deputise.

Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Leicester City: (3-4-2-1): José Sá; Bueno, Agbadou, Bueno; Semedo, André, João Gomes, Aït-Nouri; Munetsi, Strand Larsen, Cunha.

Now that they're mathematically relegated, if Ruud van Nistelrooy is ever going to throw caution to the wind, the time is now. He belatedly switched to a back four against Liverpool, allowing Bobby De Cordova-Reid to return out-wide, while Stephy Mavididi looked dangerous on the opposite flank.
