Yeah it’s not like Perez is Junior Lewis, who definitely had photos of Peter Taylor doing something revolting.

Almost certainly. He managed him at 6 different clubs....
...and then coached with him.

Swap out Amartey for Vestergaard and hopefully that'll be about right.

bet365 gave me a free fiver bet on any prem game this weekend so I've gone for under 3 goals in this plus Harvey to score. 42 quid if it cops. Nice start to the season that'd be.
Head-to-head
- Leicester's only defeat in their past 24 home league games against Wolves was by 4-1 in the Championship back in May 2007.
- Wolves have failed to score in six of the past seven meetings in all competitions.
- Three of the last four Premier League encounters have ended goalless. The exception was a 1-0 win for Leicester in November 2020.
- The only away win in the last 22 top-flight fixtures between these sides was 1-0 to Leicester at Molineux in March 1981.
- Leicester were in the top four at the end of 69 of the 76 matchrounds across the last two seasons, but they finished both campaigns in fifth.
- Last season, Leicester became the first top-flight team to lose as many as nine home matches and still finish higher than 10th.
- They let in 30 league goals at home last season, the most by a side finishing fifth or higher of the top flight since Queens Park Rangers in 1992-93.
- Jamie Vardy has scored six goals in six games on the opening weekend of a Premier League season, the joint-most of any current top-flight player with Liverpool's Mohamed Salah.
- Wolves have lost their opening league fixture in only one of the past 11 seasons, a 1-0 defeat at Leeds United in the Championship in 2012-13.
- They managed just 15 Premier League away goals last season, with only Sheffield United scoring fewer.
- Wolves are unbeaten in the 33 Premier League games in which they have scored the opening goal since November 2018 (W28, D5).
- Bruno Lage is the sixth Portuguese to manage in the English top flight, after Jose Mourinho, Nuno Espirito Santo, Marco Silva, Andre Villas-Boas and Carlos Carvalhal. None of those five lost their first Premier League match in charge.

Would be nice for Vards to kick off with an open play goal.

I hear Derby are interested in Kitson. Will he still be here by tomorrow?
