Wolves and Leicester City will both be eager to bounce back from disappointing results last weekend.

The home side were beaten at champions Manchester City 3-0 after Willy Boly's dismissal meant Wolves were down to 10 men for the majority of the match.

Leicester's defeat was more disappointing, with the Foxes being beaten by struggling Southampton at the King Power.

These teams met earlier in the season with Leicester winning 2-0 despite Jamie Vardy being sent off in the second-half.

 

Team News

Wolves defender Willy Boly will serve the first match of his three-match suspension following Monday night's straight red card.

Leander Dendocker will most likely drop back into defence to replace Boly and Romain Saiss will come into midfield.

Leicester defender Jonny Evans is set to return into the defence, after recovering from a broken toe quicker than first thought.

Daniel Amartey, who has a broken ankle, is the only player unavailable for the Foxes.

 

The Managers

Leicester boss Claude Puel over pressure on himself regarding his future: "When we have a bad result, it's normal to have feelings about me because I'm responsible for the team.

"I work with my players and I try to give them a positive attitude to start their game with the right intensity, and it's my work to find the solution.

"I accept some disapproval and people protesting, because it's my work. If we manage our games, people will be happy."
