Preview
Leicester City begin their Premier League campaign with a home game against Wolves on Saturday, as they look to avoid yet another so near yet so far season.
The Foxes have finished 5th in the last two seasons of the Premier League and narrowly missed out on the Champions League.
Rodgers will be upbeat to deliver for the Leicester side this season after having won the FA Cup and Community Shield.
Rodgers and Co have made a number of signings this season like Soumare, Bertrand, Daka; which add quality to their line-up.
On the other hand, Wolves will begin a new era after Nuno’s departure from the club at the end of last season.
Wolves finished 13th in the league last season and will eye improvement under Lage.
The Wanderers have not been at their best in pre-season winning only 2 of their 6 matches, and could be short on confidence coming into this one.
Bolla, Sa, Nouri, Trincao and Mosquera have joined the Wolves squad as new signings. Lage will want his incomings to begin on a positive note as Wolves look to perform better than last season.
Wolves and Leicester met twice in the Premier League last season with the Foxes winning the first match while a goalless draw took place at the Molineux.
Last Matches of both teams:
Leicester 1-0 Manchester City
