Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: Match Preview and Prediction

Leicester vs Wolves Preview:- In the first week of new season of English football, Leicester City will start off their campaign at home against Wolves. The Foxes will be looking to breach into the top six this time while Wolves, who took the premier league by storm last season, will be once again hopeful to start the season on the right note. 

After a very shaky first half of the last season, Leicester came back hard with arrival of Brendon Rodgers earlier this year, that helped them finish at a respectable ninth position. The Foxes had a busy transfer season in which they brought in Ayoze Perez and Youri Tielemans for a club record fees.

The Wolves came back strong last season after being promoted from the championship. Most of their strength lies in the midfield which includes some top players like Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho. They also have sealed a permanent transfer for Raul Jimenez, who was immense in attack. Diogo Jota was brilliant near the end of last season and would be pivotal yet again. If their last season‘s performance was only fluke, one can only wait and watch.
