The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Sunday's Premier League clash between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Leicester City

Wolves have struggled for consistency at home this season, but Lage's side will be feeling good about themselves at the moment, and Leicester's injury problems mean that they will again be missing a number of key players here. As a result, we are expecting the home side to collect all three points this weekend. Read more.
