Wolves are on a roll, having won their last five matches, including a 1-0 win over Manchester United on Sunday. They’re now in 15th position in the table, a remarkable turnaround since Vitor Pereira took over in December.
Pereira’s side is set to face Leicester City on Saturday, with the chance to equal a 67-year record by completing a league double over the Foxes. Wolves last achieved this feat in the 1957-58 season.
The upcoming match is also emotional for Jamie Vardy, who has announced his departure from Leicester. Vardy has a history of taunting Wolves fans with his wolf howl celebration, and he’ll likely be motivated to score again.
Despite Leicester’s recent struggles, having lost 12 games in a row, Wolves can’t take victory for granted. The head-to-head record between the two teams is closely contested, with Wolves winless in seven of their last nine matches against Leicester.
However, Wolves have a better overall record, with 45 wins to Leicester’s 42. Pereira’s team will aim to make history and secure back-to-back victories over the former Premier League champions.
