We will help you to figure this out.
Wolverhampton Wanderers News & Current Form:
Wolverhampton Wanderers have picked up 37 points in 23 matches, which gives them the opportunity to breathe down the necks of the teams fighting for the Eurocups, occupying the 7th place.
Wolves are now very interesting to watch, as they played against Tottenham in London last round, beating them 0-2. They again showed that they love and know how to play against the Premier League giants.
It seems that Spurs simply did not expect the visitors last Sunday to be so quick and sharp: by the 18th minute, after goals from Raul Jimenez and Leander Dendonker the Wanderers had a comfortable lead. And these players can play according to the score that suits them, almost better than anyone else in the top division. The defense is absolutely fine.
The club has a perfect answer to all the talks about how they have lost form, came after the losses to Norwich in the Cup and Arsenal in the league.
Wily Boly and Pedro Nero also remain sidelined.
Leicester City News & Current Form:
Leicester City is also in the middle of the table, but most importantly, the team is outside the top 10 with 27 points after 22 games. It seems that the Foxes have taken not even a step, but two steps back: the team, which showed a very brave and ambitious game last season, now does not have a single winning result over the last five rounds.
By the way, Leicester also had less than 3 days to rest and prepare for the game, because on Thursday they made their debut in the Conference League.
The English fell into this tournament, finishing only 3rd in their Europa League group, below Napoli and Spartak Moscow! This is 1 more signal of how bad the team is now. In the cup, which last spring they managed to win (FA Cup), this time came the February knockout in the form of a smashing defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest.
In the league, a draw against West Ham extended their winless streak to 5 games in a row, and only with Randers in the Conference League on Thursday they finally managed to get a win.
Interestingly, Jamie Vardy did not participate in the last matches, this player is currently injured. Without the leader, the Foxes look even worse than at the start.
Timothy Castagne, Jonny Evans, James Justin, Wesley Fofana and Ryan Bertrand all are also remain sidelined
