Leicester City: 

Leicester City will be eager to bounce back after a heavy 4-0 defeat to Newcastle United last week when they host Wolverhampton Wanderers at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. Under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, the Foxes had a promising start with four points from their first two games, but the recent loss to Newcastle highlighted some defensive vulnerabilities. Van Nistelrooy’s style has been more open and expansive compared to his predecessor, Steve Cooper, leading to some exciting attacking play, but Leicester's defensive frailties remain a concern. They have conceded 73 shots in just three matches under the Dutchman, and despite being reliant on the aging Jamie Vardy for goals, Leicester's attacking form has not been as prolific as needed. However, Leicester will take confidence from their excellent record against Wolves, remaining unbeaten in their six Premier League home meetings, including a 4-0 victory at Molineux last season. With the pressure mounting to climb out of the relegation zone, a win here is crucial for Van Nistelrooy's side to stay in touch with the teams above them.


Wolverhampton Wanderers: 

Wolverhampton Wanderers are in turmoil following the sacking of Gary O'Neil after a fourth consecutive defeat, which included a damaging 2-1 loss to newly promoted Ipswich Town. The sacking was followed by ugly scenes on the pitch, with scuffles involving players and a red card for Rayan Ait-Nouri. New manager Vitor Pereira, who arrives from Al-Shabab, will be hoping to arrest the club's slide and improve a defensive record that has seen them concede 40 goals in the opening 16 games of the season, the worst in the league. Wolves have been particularly vulnerable to set pieces, with 16 of their goals conceded coming from free kicks and corners. Pereira’s challenge will be to solidify the defense while also rejuvenating a flagging attack that has struggled against teams in the lower half of the table. Facing Leicester, Wolves will be desperate to avoid a second consecutive defeat to a newly-promoted team and will look to capitalize on their opponent's defensive lapses to secure a vital three points.
