Latest team news for Wolverhampton vs Leicester City
Wolves' third-choice goalkeeper, Daniel Bentley, was surprisingly given a starting spot at Old Trafford due to the absences of both Jose Sa (back injury) and Sam Johnstone (reason unclear). Jose Sa sustained the injury during the warm-up and his participation in the next match remains uncertain.
Additionally, Wolves are missing Hwang Hee-chan (reason unknown), Jean-Ricner Bellegarde (calf), and Pedro Lima (ankle). Sasa Kalajdzic, Enso Gonzalez, Yerson Mosquera, and Leon Chiwone are still recovering from long-term knee injuries.
Despite Sarabia's stunning goal at Old Trafford, he may continue to play a backup role to Marshall Munetsi and Matheus Cunha – who needs four more goals to break Raul Jimenez's Premier League goalscoring record for a single season.
On Leicester's side, the medical team currently only has one long-term injury case: Abdul Fatawu (knee). Harry Winks remains excluded from the first team following a conflict with manager Van Nistelrooy.
With the team already relegated, manager Van Nistelrooy may rotate the squad and give opportunities to young players, although he also has no intention of giving up for the remainder of the season.
One notable name is 15-year-old prodigy Jeremy Monga – who has become the second youngest player ever to appear in the Premier League. If he starts in an upcoming match, Monga will set a record as the youngest player ever to start in the league's history.

Latest football match prediction: Wolverhampton vs Leicester City
No team in the Premier League currently boasts a more impressive form than Wolverhampton, the home side in Saturday's match, as they are the only team to have won all five of their most recent Premier League games – a remarkable run that has dispelled any concerns about relegation.
After successively defeating Southampton, West Ham, Ipswich and Tottenham, Wolves continued to create a shock by beating Manchester United at Old Trafford during the Easter break, thanks to a spectacular free-kick goal from Pablo Sarabia.
Now that they have officially secured their survival in the Premier League, Wolves – currently above Tottenham and only below Man United on goal difference – can comfortably finish the remainder of the season, while the club's management begins preparing for a turbulent summer.
Information regarding Matheus Cunha's potential move to Man United is becoming increasingly clear, while Joao Gomes and Rayan Ait-Nouri are also likely to attract attention in the transfer market. However, before leaving, they still want to help Wolves make history.
If they win on Saturday, Wolves will achieve their first-ever run of six consecutive Premier League wins – something unprecedented in the club's history. The last time they had a six-game winning streak in England's top flight was back in 1970.
While Wolves are preparing for the next season in the Premier League, Leicester are facing the prospect of being relegated back to the Championship, after officially being relegated following their defeat to Liverpool last weekend.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's team tried to defend against the pressure from the soon-to-be champions, but ultimately succumbed to Trent Alexander-Arnold's deflected volley. That 0-1 defeat officially confirmed Leicester's long-predicted relegation from the top flight.
Relegation angered veteran captain Jamie Vardy, who unleashed a torrent of scathing criticism on social media, accurately reflecting the widespread disappointment among fans throughout the season.
Leicester's only remaining objective is to try and finish the season in 18th place – above Ipswich Town – although even that wouldn't prevent them from being relegated. However, this seems difficult to achieve given their current run of 10 winless matches in the Premier League.
The only bright spot is that Leicester's only two positive results in 2025 both came away from home – a win against Tottenham and a 2-2 draw with Brighton. But remember, they were thrashed 3-0 by Wolves in December and now face the risk of a double win for their rivals – something that hasn't happened since 1958.
