Wolves Hope to Use Break to Their Advantage
2879

They are several big games to be played in the English Premier League this weekend, one of which takes place at the King Power Stadium as Leicester City meet Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The hosts begin the weekend in second place on 15 points while the visitors are in sixth place on 13 points.

Leicester City come into the game having recorded a good 4-0 home victory over Sporting Braga in the Europa League on Thursday night. That was their 5th successive victory in all competitions, including two additional wins in the Europa League at home against Zorya and away to AEK Athens.

In the Premier League, Leicester City have enjoyed two good victories, both of which came away from home. They defeated Arsenal 1-0 and followed that with a tremendous 4-1 win at Leeds United. The Foxes have enjoyed a return to good form in the Premier League following defeats against Aston Villa and West Ham United.

Trends show Leicester City are unbeaten at half time in their last 17 home games all competitions but have been struggling at home in the Premier League. They have lost 3 of their last 4 home Premier League matches, including 2 of the 3 they have played this season. Leicester City failed to score a single goal in each of the 3 defeats.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently on a 4 game unbeaten run in the Premier League. Last weekend they recorded a 2-0 victory at home over Crystal Palace, with both goals coming in the first half of the match. It was an important victory for Wolves, who looked as though they were on their way to winning their previous game at home against Newcastle United 1-0 only to concede directly from a free kick in the 89th minute.

Prior to the draw with Newcastle United, Wolves picked up two victories in the Premier League. The first of which came at home against Fulham and was a narrow 1-0 win, while the other was a good performance and 1-0 victory at Leeds United.

Trends show that of their last 21 games in all competitions, Wolves have seen 18 with under 2.5 goals scored. That includes each of their last 4 Premier League matches.

Team news and Leicester City are without several injured players including Çağlar Söyüncü, Daniel Amartey, Wilfred Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira, and Timothy Castagne. They also have doubts over the fitness of central defender Jonny Evans.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are still without full-back Jonny, who is not expected back in action until March. Fernando Marcal remains a doubt due to a muscle injury.

This has the makings of being a close game with Wolverhampton Wanderers keeping things tight. If they manage to prevent Leicester City from scoring in the first half, Wolves could hit them on the break in the second half and score the only goal of the match to win 1-0.
