class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>The Foxes have been in strong form in the final third but our tipster is backing a tight affair when they host defensively-sound Wolves on Sunday<\/p>\n
<\/head><\/p>\nLeicester City can move top of the Premier League for at least a couple of hours when Wolves visit the King Power Stadium on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Currently one point behind Liverpool, who play Manchester City later in the day, Brendan Rodgers’ side will leapfrog his old club if the Foxes avoid defeat in this one.<\/p>\n
Although Leicester have won five of their seven league matches with 17 goals to their name, Wolves boast the second-best defence in the league and represent a stern test for the 2015-16 champions.<\/p>\n
Leicester City vs Wolves Latest Odds<\/p>\n
The Foxes are on a two-game winning streak in the league and bet365 make them 13\/10 (2.30) favourites to see off Nuno Espirito Santo\u2019s men.<\/p>\n
Wolves, though, have picked up 10 points from the last available 12 and are 9\/4 (3.25) outsiders to make that 13 from 15.<\/p>\n
Both meetings between these sides last season finished 0-0 and another draw is available at 11\/5 (3.20) .<\/p>\n
Leicester City vs Wolves Team News<\/p>\n
James Maddison proved his fitness by playing 90 minutes in Leicester\u2019s 4-0 win over Braga on Thursday, but Timothy Castagne, Caglar Soyuncu, Daniel Amartey, Wilfred Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira and Jonny Evans are all injured.<\/p>\n
Santo will be without Jonny, and Fernando Marcal is a doubt, but otherwise the Portuguese manager has a full complement of players to choose from.<\/p>\n
Leicester City vs Wolves Preview<\/p>\n
Thursday\u2019s comfortable victory in the Europa League made it 10 goals in the last three games in all competitions, and that sky-high confidence will be boosted even further by Jamie Vardy\u2019s return after he was rested against Braga.<\/p>\n
However, that impressive run could be set to end against a Wolves team that has conceded just once in their last four games and allowed just two shots on target in each of those fixtures.<\/p>\n
As well as boasting one of the strongest defences, Santo\u2019s side are the least-effective attack outside of the bottom four with just eight goals scored and average little over three shots on target per game.<\/p>\n
Leicester City vs Wolves Tips and Predictions<\/p>\n
It is set to be a tight affair at the King Power Stadium and the 5\/6 (1.83) quote from bet365 on under 7.5 match shots on target offers decent value for punters, having paid out in five of Wolves\u2019 seven fixtures this term.<\/p>\n
