WOLVES and Leicester City probably both harboured serious ambitions to be battling it out for European places at the start of the season, but when they meet on Sunday, it's very much a relegation battle.
Managerless Wolves may have thought they had turned the corner when they took the lead against Crystal Palace in London on Tuesday night.
But a second half collapse saw the Eagles snatch the three points and maintained theBlack County outfit's poor start to the season, although at least they have now scored in consecutive games, which was a major problem for them.
Brendan Rodgers' problems at Leicester have been well documented, but he gave himself some breathing space with a much-needed 2-0 win against Leeds United on Thursday.
He remains under serious pressure, but that victory would have eased the spotlight which was very much shining on him and the Foxes are now only one point from getting out of the bottom three.
But Leicester will be desperate to keep the momentum going in a game which could be tight and nervy.
How the bookies view it
Wolves' home advantage makes them favourites to earn the three points here at 13/10 with UniBet.
Leicester City have lost every league game away this season and that's probably got a lot to do with their tag as outsiders here. They are 49/20 with UniBet and the draw is 5/2 with Betfred.
Recent head to heads
It was a home win apiece last season with a win for the hosts at Molineux and the King Power Stadium.
Wolves are unbeaten in their last seven visits from Leicester to Molineux.
Players to watch
Adama Traore returned from his loan spell at Barcelona in the summer and has so far managed just two goals for Wolves, although the latest one was in their midweek defeat to Palace. He is 9/2 to score anytime with William Hill.
Zambian hitman Patson Daka has scored three goals in his last six games for Leicester and he is 5/2 to net with UniBet.
Anything else catch the eye?
The obvious shout here is both sides to cancel each other out Leicester have lost all five of their games on the road and Wolves' only wins have come at Molineux.
However, Leicester have been showing signs of improvement and have sorted a leaky defence out – that's three clean sheets out of four for them now.
Those clean sheets and the fact that Wolves are still the lowest scorers in the league with only five goals means it's hard to see a goalfest here either.
The 10/11 with bet365 for under 2.5 goals looks to have a great chance too.
