THE LOWDOWN
LEICESTER
- Leicester are now ten league games without a win – nine of those defeats – and are very much entrenched in a relegation battle right now.
- Dean Smith may reward Kelechi Iheanacho – who came off the bench to score against former club Man City last week – with a start in place of veteran striker Jamie Vardy.
WOLVES
- Back-to-back wins against Chelsea and Brentford have given Wolves a healthy cushion over the teams in the relegation zone.
- Jonny and Ruben Neves are available again following the completion of their respective suspensions but boss Julen Lopetegui will be very tempted to keep the same team that defeated Brentford.

THE PREDICTION
Dean Smith’s first match in charge of Leicester was an unsurprising defeat to title challengers Man City so it was difficult to really judge them on that. Smith will know that this fixture is far more important though, as they are in real risk of relegation if results don’t pick up soon. Wolves come into this in great shape having picked up seven points from the last nine available, with Julen Lopetegui clearly getting a tune out of his players. Sooner or later though, given the quality in their ranks, Leicester will surely start firing and this could be the match they spark into life. For that reason, both teams to score could be the way to go.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
