Preview

Two sides with relegation battles to win meet at Molineux and it's the hosts' knack of falling apart when conceding which plays into the hands of Leicester.

Indeed, it's not only that. The fact that Wolves have bagged only five goals – the lowest tally in the Premier League – massively works against them, too.

Wolves have lost eight points from winning positions already, they average a divisional-low 7.8 shots per game at home and look rudderless minus a manager.

Leicester don't look great, it has to be said, but at least are on an upward trajectory with seven points from the last possible 12.

They still look a goal threat – they went into this weekend having scored more than Chelsea or Manchester United – and if they can get their noses in front, this season's form tells us Wolves won't respond.

James Maddison's return from a week off via a ban is another plus for the Foxes.
