Before today, the away team has never won in any of the 10 Premier League meetings between Wolves and Leicester (D4 L6). They’ve also failed to score on seven occasions, although the three times the away side scored was the Foxes (two 3-4 defeats and a 1-2 defeat). That may change today.

Wolves must start the second half as they did the first. They put pressure on the Leicester defence, with Podence, Matheus and Traore all causing problems. However, after conceding, they lost confidence, allowing the away side to control the game until the final few minutes of the opening 45. Costa has looked good at times, but he must have more support, otherwise, Faes will nullify his threat. For Leicester, they must keep looking to spring on the counter with Barnes and Maddison. The Foxes have regularly found space in the wide areas, with the latter making untracked runs into the box.

A sublime strike from Tielemans kickstarted a slow Leicester side who have a two-goal lead at the break. Wolves dominated the opening exchanges, with Podence, Costa and Moutinho all having shots before the Belgian broke the deadlock. A free-kick from the left could only be cleared to the edge towards the midfielder, who rifled the ball into the top corner with a first-time strike. The momentum turned, with the Foxes scoring a second soon after. This time it was Barnes who slotted the ball through the legs of Sa after a neat one-two with Dewsbury-Hall. Wolves fought back in the last couple of minutes but couldn’t find the net. First, it was Costa who had his close range attempt blocked on the line by Justin, before Podence had his shot pushed away by Ward.

SAVE! Ward still has his clean sheet after a great save. Podence is free on the left of the box and angles his shot towards the top corner. The Leicester goalkeeper pushes his attempt away before catching a tame header from Costa who was looking to score the rebound.

BLOCKED! Moutinho's inswinging cross is flicked by Matheus towards Costa. The former Chelsea man looks to have a simple finish from close range, but Justin is positioned well to block his shot.

The ball comes out to Bueno who aims for Costa in the middle. Running backwards, his header is deflected behind by Faes who is getting the better of him so far.

Traore looks to burst forward and slide the ball towards Costa, but his pass is intercepted by Faes. He ran towards a congested space, with the away side packing the middle of the pitch.

14:38 , admin
A large cheer from the away fans after a switch to Traore goes over his head. After their bright start, they have struggled to get into Leicester's defensive third.

Leicester have lost all five of their Premier League away games this season – only once in their league history have they lost their first six on the road, doing so in the top-flight in 1957-58. It looks like that stat will not change after their first half dominance.

The joy's coming mostly on the counter for City, Dewsbury-Hall and Maddison orchestrating the rapid attacks 🔷
The defence is also regularly needed to dampen Wolves attacks. Plenty of energy in this one past the half-hour mark.#WOLLEI pic.twitter.com/odxth7lJLn— Leicester City (@LCFC) October 23, 2022

That is the second time that Maddison has missed the ball after the ball was crossed low towards him after Barnes did the same ball across earlier in the match.

14:33 , admin
Justin wins the ball off of Traore and feeds it to Dewsbury-Hall. The duo play a one-two outside the box with the midfielder putting a searching ball across the area. On the right, Maddison bursts through the crowd to try and get onto it, but the ball evades him.

Traore attempts to beat Justin down the left after receiving a long switch from Neves, but the winger loses his footing. The ball rolls out for a goal-kick.

Getting onto a long ball forward, Daka looks to knock the ball over Kilman and run past him but the defender does well to recover possession.

Leicester lost 2-1 against Wolves in their last league meeting but haven’t lost consecutive matches against them since August 1992 in the second tier. It looks unlikely that they will lose today after two quick goals.

14:24 , admin
Costa barges into the back of Faes and concedes a free-kick. He is frustrated at how the game has slipped away from Wolves so quickly in the first half.

Daka almost closes down Sa, but the ball is flicked away from his path. That could have been game over already.
