Summary

  • Evans makes Leicester debut

  • Vardy returns to starting XI

  • Wolves' record signing Traore on bench

  1. KICK-OFFpublished at 16:06 British Summer Time 18 August 2018

    Leicester 2-0 Wolves

    Back underway.

    Nuno Espirito Santo makes two changes at the break and hands club record signing Adama Traore his Wolves debut.

    He's joined on the field by Leo Bonatini, as Helder Costa and Diogo Jota are removed.

  2. HALF-TIMEpublished at 15:51 British Summer Time 18 August 2018

    Leicester 2-0 Wolves

    Claude Puel will be pretty pleased with that half-time scoreline.

    Leicester grew stronger and stronger as the opening 45 minutes went by and probably didn't want the whistle to go.

    Wolves may feel unlucky having started on top and hitting both the Leicester crossbar and post in the early stages, but crucially they haven't made their opportunities count so far.

    James Maddison

    A goal on his home debut for James Maddison.

    Credit to referee Mike Dean, who allows play to continue after Ricardo Pereira is fouled. Maddison, who scored 15 times for Norwich in 2017-18, collects the loose ball and drills it into the bottom right-hand corner, beyond the reach of Rui Patricio.

    It's backwards and forwards now as we approach the interval, with both sides rapidly turning defence into attack.

    James Maddison is growing into the game more and more for the home side.

    Ricardo Pereira is a threat for Leicester, he really does love joining in any attacking opportunity.

    The 24-year-old is fed into the area by Jamie Vardy, but his cross is collected by Rui Patricio before it can reach James Maddison.

  6. ouch!

    James Maddison catches Ruben Neves with a flying elbow as he tries to turn the 21-year-old in midfield.

    Referee Mike Dean gives Maddison, making his home debut, the benefit of the doubt. No complaints from the Wolves players either.

    Wolves do not deserve to be 1-0 down.

    Matt Doherty own goal

    Very unfortunate.

    Leicester whip the ball in from the right and it flies in off Matt Doherty's head, quite spectacularly, to give Leicester the lead.

    It's harsh on Wolves, who have looked very bright.

    Leicester 0-0 Wolves

    No goals yet, but boy are Wolves going to be exciting to watch in the Premier League this season.

    Just when Leicester think they've stamped their authority on the game, Wolves still come up with great chances. The Leicester goal frame has taken a good beating so far.

    Leicester 0-0 Wolves

    Raul Jimenez collects a loose ball and smacks the post from the edge of the area.

    Kasper Schmeichel might actually get something to it, but the Leicester goalkeeper had barely any time to react.

    Jimenez looks sharp. Leicester look vulnerable.

    Nice play through the middle from Leicester, with Nampalys Mendy - who spent last season out on loan - looking full of running. Alas, it all comes to nothing.

    Leicester 0-0 Wolves

    At the risk of summoning a 0-0 here, Wolves' record league win was in fact against Leicester.

    They thrashed them 10-1 some 80 years ago. Sit tight, folks.

    Leicester 0-0 Wolves

    It has all settled down between the Foxes and Wolves for the time being.

    Leicester are happy to play keep-ball around the centre circle, but Wolves' forward three look poised to pounce on any mistakes and loose balls.

    Leicester 0-0 Wolves

    Jamie Vardy is involved from the start today after scoring a late goal as a substitute against Manchester United last week. He'll be seeking a landmark goal today, with his next goal at home his 50th at the King Power Stadium.

    The home side have their foot on the ball now. Time to regain their composure after a frantic opening few minutes.

    Demarai Gray is almost put in by Ricardo Pereira but Ryan Bennett makes an excellent tackle to put the ball out for a Leicester corner.

    Wolves are flying forward at the start here, it's been a really entertaining start and the visitors win a corner.

    No let-up in pressure for the home side to deal with.

    What a strike from Joao Moutinho.

    Kasper Schmeichel is well beaten but the Portugal international's strike bounces off the crossbar.

    What a goal that would have been.

    Leicester v Wolves (15:00 BST)

    Guy Mowbray
    Match of the Day commentator

    With Jamie Vardy having signed a new contract, Harry Maguire about to, and a fresh new feel to the squad, all should be well in Leicester's world - shouldn't it?

    Even in defeat at Manchester United last week there were signs that they're set for a decent season, with or without Claude Puel. Another loss in this one would only increase the chatter about his future, whether that's equitable or not.

    I think the Foxes will secure another top-half finish, and that Wolves won't be far behind.

    They've already served up one entertaining game on their Premier League return, and I can foresee something similar here.

  20. Lawro's predictionpublished at 14:56 British Summer Time 18 August 2018

    Leicester v Wolves (15:00 BST)

    Leicester lost to Manchester United in their opening game but they put in a decent performance. Wolves came from behind twice to draw with Everton last week and this is another big test for them.

    Nuno Espirito Santo's side are at their best when they are dominating possession, although I am not sure how strong they are under pressure.

    I suspect we might find out on Saturday, because I am expecting the Foxes to make a lot of chances.

    Prediction: 2-1
