Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, beat 10-man Crystal Palace 2-0 last Saturday in the English Premier League.

Goals from teenage left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri and Portuguese winger Daniel Podence secured the win for Nuno Espirito Santo's men. To add insult to injury, Crystal Palace had midfielder Luka Milivojevic sent off late in the second half.

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction

Leicester City sit second in the Premier League table after some impressive initial performances. Jamie Vardy has continued his excellent form from last season, and despite missing some key players, the Foxes have managed to produce results on a consistent basis.

Wolves, on the other hand, are now starting to find some form. After losing key players Matt Doherty and Diogo Jota to other Premier League clubs, Wolves took a little time to ease in their new players. While stars like Raul Jimenez continue to shine, youngsters like Pedro Neto and Max Kilman have established themselves in the first XI.

The Foxes are just one point behind league leaders Liverpool, while Wolves are not far behind. Leicester City play at home, and could just sneak past their opposition with a narrow victory on Sunday.

Prediction: Leicester City 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers
