Wolves vs Leicester: Preview, predictions and lineups | OneFootball

Wolverhampton Wanderers are aiming to make it six wins on the bounce and pile more misery on already relegated Leicester City when the sides meet in the Premier League on Saturday.

Vitor Pereira's resurgent Wolves lead the form table having won their last five games, their longest such run in the top-flight since 1970. Pablo Sarabia's free kick extended the streak at Manchester United last weekend and officially secured the Old Gold's place in the Premier League next season.

The 1-0 triumph at Old Trafford saw Wolves move level on points with Manchester United and leapfrog Tottenham Hotspur in the standings. They could finish the weekend as high as 13th depending on results elsewhere and their own at Molineux.

In contrast, Leicester, whose relegation was confirmed last weekend with defeat to Liverpool, are rock bottom of the form table having managed a single point from their last five games. They have blanked in nine of their last ten matches in what has been a truly miserable period for Ruud van Nistelrooy's side, and they can have few complaints about their current position.

Here is 90min's guide to a Midlands affair.

Wolves have dazzled in recent weeks despite their lengthy list of absentees. Admittedly, the bulk of missing players are peripheral figures at Molineux, but they remain without Sasa Kalajdzic, Leon Chiwome, Enzo Gonzalez and Yerson Mosquera this Saturday.

Third-choice goalkeeper Daniel Bentley kept a clean sheet at Old Trafford last time out after coming in for the missing Sam Johnstone and Jose Sa. The latter was injured in the warm-up against Man Utd but could return this weekend.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Hwang Hee-chan were touch-and-go for the trip to Manchester but neither were deemed fit. They could make comebacks this weekend, as could young full-back Pedro Lima.

Wolves predicted lineup vs Leicester (3-4-2-1): Bentley; Doherty, Agbadou, Toti; Semedo, J. Gomes, Andre, Ait-Nouri; Munetsi, Cunha; Strand Larsen.

Leicester's only absentee for the trip to Molineux is Abdul Fatawu, with a kind injury list making recent performances all the more embarrassing. Harry Winks is another who won't face Wolves, but that's due to a falling out with Van Nistelrooy as opposed to injury.

Wout Faes and 15-year-old Jeremy Monga both returned from knocks during the loss at home to Liverpool last time out, with the former coming straight back into the starting lineup. He should partner former Wolves defender Conor Coady at the back.

Leicester predicted lineup vs Wolves (4-2-3-1): Hermansen; Pereira, Faes, Coady, Thomas; Ndidi, Soumare; Reid, El Khannous, Mavididi; Vardy.

Perhaps Leicester's relegation will allow them to play with greater freedom and expression in the closing weeks of the season but it appears unlikely given their complete lack of attacking inspiration and defensive organisation this season.

They should be handed another routine defeat on Saturday against the high-flying Wolves, who boast the individual quality in the likes of Matheus Cunha, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Joao Gomes that is missing from Leicester's squad.

It could be yet another goalless venture for the toothless Foxes.
