Pre Match Leicester v Wolves 14/08

[popillius]

Either Perez has it in his contract that he plays a certain amount of games a season or BR is nailing his missus it is the only logical inference to take.

Or he knows more about the squad than you.

Just a hunch.

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.

Fair point lol

 

[Brown Nose]

Castagne in squad. Vestergaard will be if deal is done.

 

[Miles Away]

So bench:

Ward, Castagne, Vestegaard, Nacho, Daka, Soumare, Albrighton, Dewsbury-Hall, Thomas

kin hell.

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

Choudhury?

 

[City Fan]

Our strength is depth is looking very healthy indeed. Just need a right winger and we’re set.

My sympathy died at this point. Bloody hipster.

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 City

• 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.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

• 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?

So long as we get something in return we’ll be happy, won’t we?
