Ruud van Nistelrooy is expected to make changes to his eleven when Leicester City face Wolves.
The Foxes will be desperate to pick up three points when they welcome Wolves to the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
Leicester City faced off with Newcastle United in their last Premier League outing, losing 4-0.
Ruud van Nistelrooy must now pick his team back up after what was surely a big blow to their confidence.
Leicester had earned four points from their Dutchman’s first two games in charge but were brought firmly back down to earth vs the Magpies.
With Wolves also battling to avoid the drop this season, it’s imperative Leicester get back to winning ways this weekend, meaning one star will surely have to be dropped.

Hamza Choudhury won’t start for Leicester City vs Wolves
Amid injury and suspension problems, Hamza Choudhury was given his first Premier League start of the season last weekend.
The midfielder played alongside Oliver Skipp and it’s fair to say neither player covered themselves in glory.

Despite a big part of their job being to cover the club’s leaky backline, the Leicester duo took 60 minutes to make a tackle.
His overall stats were also pretty disappointing and it’s obvious Van Nistelrooy now can and will drop him on Sunday.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has two options to replace Hamza Choudhury vs Wolves
As already mentioned, the 27-year-old was only brought into the team due to several other stars missing the match.
However, two of those players are expected to return to action against Wolves.
Boubakary Soumare missed the 4-0 drubbing after picking up five yellow cards in the league. But he was only serving a one-match ban and will almost certainly come straight back into the eleven.
Elsewhere, Harry Winks returned to Leicester training this week after picking up an injury in the 2-1 defeat to Chelsea last month.
And when speaking in his pre-Wolves presser on Friday, Van Nistelrooy provided an update on Winks, confirming he’s back available for selection.
The Englishman and Soumare could both start the game after the dismal showing from Skipp and Choudhury last time out.
