Recent respective form guides

Leicester City need to improve on their recent home record of just 3 draws from the previous six. While Foxes have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Wolves's away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. A generous 10 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Leicester City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 53 points from their 45 matches. Wolves's total of 73 points from their 45 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca-Cola Championship.
