WOLVES 4-1 Leicester, Wolves 4-3 Leicester - Wolves Vs Leicester is usually an entertaining game and 9 times out of 10 the games are full of importance. Not this time. Full preview...

In truth this game means more to Leicester City than it does for Wolves. The boys in Gold and Black have fluffed any chance they had of reaching the play-offs, but have accumulated enough points to clinch survival. Meanwhile our hosts for Tuesday nights encounter at the Walkers Stadium sit four points above the relegation zone.

Leicester City should be, as that old phrase says "too good to go down" and will probably dig their way to safety over the next few weeks, but how they would love to turn the tables on Wolves for the most embarrassing 45 minutes of football in their recent history.

Both sides graced the Premiership last season, both sides were relegated, both sides sacked managers, both sides appointed new managers and both sides failed to deliver in this, the poorest of divisions.

The season hasn't been great for either side but Wolves boss Glenn Hoddle will be looking to keep the run of unbeaten games (currently twelve) going.

The Wolves boss has several injury concerns heading into this midlands encounter to worry about. Keith Andrews looks set to miss the rest of the season with a back injury whilst Mark Kennedy and Paul Ince are carrying knocks.

"A few of the lads have minor problems but we are hoping that in another 24 hours things might have settled down." Said the Wolves boss in his pre-match press conference.

The Foxes have no new injury problems for the game, however how they will cope without Dickov falling over in the box and winning penalties remains to be seen.

Both sides have over 30 draws between them this season, so what are the chances on another one? One thing that is for sure however is that it will probably be entertaining.
