Leicester
|
| Leicester
played Wolves 3 times last season, winning one, drawing
one and losing the other. A Paul Dickov penalty won the
points for Leicester at The Walkers Stadium. A 4-1
demolition of the Foxes then came in the FA Cup before a
1-1 draw at Molineux late in the season. |

One's
to Watch.
|
|
Henri Camara has been
very impressive so far and once he gets his first goal it is
likely he will go on to get more.
|
| . |
|
Predicting
the result of this game is tough, however one thing you can
predict is that Paul Dickov will win plenty of free-kicks,
and maybe the odd penalty.

Despite Wolves and
Leicester being the bottom two in the Premiership, with just
one point on Wolves side separating the two sides, Wolves
manager Dave Jones does not believe this game is a
"Relegation Decider".
"People are talking
about ourselves and Leicester being relegated already even
though the gap between ourselves and the club in 13th position
is just three points, equivalent to one win." Jones told
Sporting Life.
"We're certainly
going to be out there looking for those three points and I
heard Micky Adams on the radio saying he was going to be
looking for three points himself.
"Nothing changes in
football. Whenever and wherever you play, you're always
looking for three point because otherwise, what's the point of
getting stripped and playing the game?"
Mark Kennedy
has been ruled out of the game with a groin strain and Paul
Ince has been labeled as a "serious doubt" due
to a chest infection.
