Leicester vs Wolves official line-ups: Team news ahead of Premier League fixture today

Leicester City kick off their new Premier League campaign at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Foxes look to kick on again under Brendan Rodgers after a successful campaign finishing fifth and winning the FA Cup.

Leicester enter the new season with confidence after winning the FA Community Shield against Manchester City after Kelechi Iheanacho’s late strike.

While it’s all change at Molineux, with Bruno Lage replacing Nuno Espirito Santo, who has taken over at Tottenham.

The loss of Wesley Fofana due to a fractured fibula has presented Leicester with an early obstacle, but Rodgers delivered good news on the young French defender.

“He’s doing very well, is coming back home and he’s in great spirits,” said the Foxes boss. “It’s hugely disappointing for him and for us. He’s had the operation and it’s gone very well. Now it’s all about his recovery, but he’s in good spirits and we’ll look forward to seeing him when he can come in.”

Prediction

Wolves’ injuries and Bruno Lage’s methods taking time to bed in mean Leicester should win this one, with confidence high after lifting the Community Shield. The Foxes should concede given the issues at the back with Wesley Fofana’s injury and a lack of depth currently, but Brendand Rodgers’ side should ease to a 3-1 victory.
