Leicester City will clash heads with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday looking to get a victory in front of their home supporters at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes need to start this Premier League campaign well if they are aspiring to be in the running to finish in the top 6 spots of the Premier League table during the latter stages of this campaign. However, Wolves could prove to be a stern test for them in the opening weekend of this new season.
Brendan Rodgers will likely choose to go with a 4-1-4-1 formation and might hand Ayoze Perez his first competitive start for the West Midlands outfit this weekend.
4-1-4-1 Leicester City Predicted Lineup To Face Wolves
Defence
Kasper Schmeichel would lineup in goal for the Foxes on Sunday as he tries to earn a clean sheet at the back. The centre-back pair of Çağlar Söyüncü and Jonny Evans will play together with the hope of building a solid partnership at the heart of the Leicester backline.
Ricardo Pereira is expected to feature in the right-back position while Ben Chilwell looks to use his pace on the other side while operating as the left-back. The Foxes defenders will need to be at their best if they want to keep the Wolves attackers at bay this weekend.
Midfield
Wilfred Ndidi will get a chance to impress as a defensive midfielder while the talented midfield duo of James Maddison and Youri Tielemans play ahead of him at the middle of the field. Both players would try to establish Leicester’s dominance in midfield by distributing the ball accurately in the Wolves half. Marc Albrighton could get the nod to start as a left-winger while Ayoze Perez looks to use his pace and guile down the right flank.
Hamza Choudhury will have to settle for a spot on Brendan Rodgers’ bench and might get a chance to feature in the match if needed.
Attack
Jamie Vardy will spearhead the Foxes’ attack up front on Sunday. The English centre-forward has proven in the past that he can score goals consistently in the English top-flight. Therefore, the Leicester fans will expect him to fire on all cylinders inside a packed King Power Stadium tomorrow afternoon.
Rodgers’ new summer recruit, Dennis Praet might come off the bench to make an impact in the second half.
