Wolves host Leicester City on Saturday in an emotional match for Jamie Vardy, who announced he’ll leave the King Power Stadium when his contract expires this summer. The 38-year-old legend has been instrumental in Leicester’s success, winning two Championship titles, a Premier League title, and an FA Cup.
Vardy has a history with Wolves, having scored a memorable goal against them in 2022 and celebrating in front of the Wolves fans with a wolf howl. This fixture might be extra motivation for him to grab another goal, especially since he’s close to reaching 200 goals for Leicester.
Vardy’s record against Wolves isn’t impressive, with only three goals in 13 matches. However, he’s determined to make an impact, and the physicality of Wolves’ defenders Emmanuel Agbadou and Toti Gomes will be put to the test.
The Foxes are winless in their last 12 games, and their season has been underwhelming. However, Vardy might bow out in style with a strong performance against Wolves. He’ll likely be motivated to give the fans one last show and prove his worth.
Leicester fans have been emotional about Vardy’s departure, and this match might be a fitting farewell for the veteran striker. Wolves, on the other hand, have been on a good run under Vitor Pereira, and they’ll aim to continue their form against Leicester.
The match promises to be an exciting encounter, with Vardy looking to make a statement in his final appearance against Wolves. Will he manage to score and reach the 200-goal milestone? Only time will tell.
