As Leicester City prepares to face Wolverhampton Wanderers on December 22, 2024, fans and analysts alike are keenly anticipating the outcome of this crucial match. Both teams are currently battling relegation, with Leicester having a slight advantage after winning both encounters against Wolves in the previous season . However, recent managerial changes at Wolves could influence their performance; Vitor Pereira has taken over following Gary O'Neil's dismissal due to poor results.

Leicester City, under the guidance of new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, initially showed promise with a bright start to the season. However, their recent 4-0 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United has highlighted ongoing defensive vulnerabilities. The Foxes have struggled to maintain consistency at the back, an issue that Van Nistelrooy will need to address urgently if they are to steer clear of relegation danger. Despite these setbacks, Leicester will be eager to secure a victory that would provide some much-needed breathing room above the drop zone.

Wolves are in an even more desperate situation, sitting five points away from safety. Their recent loss to Ipswich Town, another team fighting relegation, has left them in a dire predicament. The appointment of Vitor Pereira as manager marks a new chapter for Wolves, and his task is cut out for him. A win against Leicester is crucial not only for morale but also to keep their hopes of survival alive. Pereira will be looking to inject new life into the squad and galvanise his players into delivering a performance that can turn their fortunes around.

Leicester City possible starting lineup: Ward; Justin, Vestergaard, Coady, Kristiansen; Soumare, Skipp; McAteer, Buonanotte, El Khannouss; Vardy

Wolverhampton Wanderers possible starting lineup: Johnstone; Nelson Semedo, Bueno, Toti; Doherty, Andre, Lemina, R Gomes; Joao Gomes, Cunha, Strand Larsen

Leicester have also pivoted to a new voice in the dressing room after they dismissed Steve Cooper last month. Ruud van Nistelrooy has facilitated greater excitement in the East Midlands, and the Foxes have climbed out of the drop zone after taking four points from his first two games in charge.

Predictions for the match have varied among analysts. Bryan Logan notes that both Chris Sutton and Jon McClure foresee a 1-1 draw as likely given Wolves' defensive frailties and Leicester's reliance on key players like Jamie Vardy . While Leicester has shown resilience under manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, their defensive inconsistencies remain a concern that could impact the match's outcome.
