Premier League's matchday 32 brings us an absorbing match-up between relegation-threatened Leicester City going up against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the King Power stadium this Saturday.
It will mark Dean Smith's second game in charge of Leicester City post their managerial change after sacking Brendan Rodgers. There were still a few positives to build on from the last quarter's performance against Manchester City, which the Foxes unsurprisingly lost with a 3-1 scoreline.
The King Power club is nowhere near where they would want to be for survival. This year especially, when we have one of the most challenging relegation fights in the league's history, and Leicester City's recent run of results pales (in comparison) with fellow relegation fodders.
With 25 points in 31 games, the Foxes remain in 19th place and two points behind safety. In their last five- they have managed to draw one and lose four games in succession.
Wolves have been doing remarkably after appointing Julen Lopetegui after a painful start to this season. The side can now boast of earning good results by playing a tactically sound game. The outfit remains seven points clear of the relegation zone, with seven games left this season.
The motivation for the side would be to gather more points for finishing at the middle of the table. Wolves have had "a mixed bag" of results from their last five, as they had lost twice, drawn once, and then claimed back-to-back home victories against Chelsea and Brentford.
Leicester City has one of the worst defensive records this season, having gathered only six clean sheets till now. That leaves Wolves with plenty of motivation to breach and maximize this opportunity.
Defensive woes continue for the hosts as they will be missing their usuals in Ryan Bertrand and Jannik Vestergaard, complemented by Ricardo Pereira for his hamstring issues, with Harvey Barnes and James Justin remaining unfit to feature just yet. Club captain Jonny Evans is reportedly ill to make his anticipated return for this one.
The visitors would have to do without their forwards Saša Kalajdžić and Chiquinho with their knee-related setbacks. Luckily, Diego Costa returns to action after picking up a knock against Brentford earlier. Ruben Neves and Jonny are scheduled to return from their absences but will most likely be starting as substitutes.
Expert Insight: Historically, the Foxes at home have always got the better of the visitors. However, this time the tables have turned, and Leicester will only be looking to avoid another successive humiliation at the hands of Wolves as Smith's side remains winless in their last ten games.
A rejuvenated Wanderers might be a tough challenge for the Foxes to contain. The chances of a stalemate also cannot be undermined, as Leicester is good at creating but struggles miserably to convert desirable results in the final third.
