Match Thread: Leicester City vs Wolves

Competitors

November 8 2020

Wolves travel to Leicester today for another difficult challenge in this season's Premier League. After collecting ten points in four games including their win against Crystal Palace last Friday, Wolves will be bouyant, but City have also had a good week with wins at Leeds and Braga FC.

 

This is likely to be a competition between two teams with strong defences who like to strike on the counter attack. Last season saw two draws between the teams - after the intervention of VAR saved City in their home game on the opening day of the season. After the early season mauling they suffered at West Ham recently Wolves have conceded only one goal, whilst City have scored ten in their last three games!!

 

Rayan Ait-Nouri made an impressive start to his Wolves career against Palace with a scoring debut, but he will be in competition with Romain Saiss and fit again Frederico Marcal for the starting place in today's game. Having just signed a new five year contract with Wolves Pedro Neto will presumably be hoping to start again with the exciting Daniel Podence in attack.

 

Coach Nuno Espirito Santo has not declared any injuries, whilst City still have several of their first team players on the injury list, but Jonny Evans may well be able to return to defensive duties today.

 

Todays referee will be Anthony Taylor

 

The game will feature on Sky Super Sunday with a kick off time of 2pm

 

This board will hopefully carry regular updates, and board members are encouraged to post their own observations for the benefit of those unable to maintain a good stream!!!
