Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League today.

James Maddison missed out for Leicester with illness for their crunch clash with Wolves. Tete, Kelechi Iheanacho, Patson Daka and Boubakary Soumare started for the Foxes.

Wolves were unchanged following two straight wins meaning skipper Ruben Neves, back after suspension, was on the bench.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Invited to strike by a Leicester defence reluctant to close him down, Sarabia lets fly with a shot from 20 yards out, which rises steadily over the crossbar.

Four minutes will be added on for stoppages at the end of this first half, with Wolves trying to gain a foothold in the Leicester half. Since conceding a goal on the break, their dominance has been diluted.

The home crowd is in uproar as Vardy is penalised for challenge on Gomes in midfield, and Wolves can kill a few seconds to take the sting out of Leicester's attacking momentum.

An aerial challenge between Costa and Soyuncu leaves the latter down on the deck clutching his face, but when the referee shows little interest in booking the Wolves striker, the Leicester defender is soon able to recover.

For quite a while, Vardy remains down on the turf following Sa's challenge, but after receiving treatment looks as though he'll be able to continue.

PENALTY! Leicester will have a spot-kick chance to get themsleves back into the game! On the counter, Vardy is released into the area, and Sa decides to hare out of his goal and track down the striker's run. The goalkeeper slips, though, and upends his opponent!
