It’s a huge game at the bottom of the Premier League table today as Leicester City face Wolves.
The Foxes face uncharted territory after Wolves confirmed the appointment of Vitor Pereira earlier this week and the former Porto boss will take charge of his first game at the King Power Stadium.
Ruud van Nistelrooy will be hoping his side can return to winning ways after Leicester were hammered by Newcastle United last time out.
Mads Hermansen is a doubt for Leicester after suffering a groin injury last week while Boubakary Soumare is back after missing through suspension.
One other star is back in contention for Van Nistelrooy and his return couldn’t come at a better time, with Leicester expected to be involved in a tough battle against Wolves.

Harry Winks available to play for Leicester against Wolves
Harry Winks was one of Leicester’s most important players in the Championship-winning campaign.
The £10m signing started every game under Enzo Maresca but is yet to feature under the new Leicester boss after coming off injured in Steve Cooper’s final games.
Leicester have only won once since Winks’ spell on the sidelines but given the lack of options in midfield, an immediate return to the starting XI is likely.

Soumare is also able to play and is likely to feature alongside Winks while youngster Henry Cartwright could be among the substitutes too.

What has Ruud van Nistelrooy said about Harry Winks?
Leicester fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Winks to the fold, with the Foxes star deemed the most important player among some quarters of the fanbase.
It isn’t just the supporters who are excited to welcome back the 28-year-old either, with Van Nistelrooy confirming that the former Tottenham Hotspur man would be back in action.
He said: “Harry was this week fully part of team training. He’s available for selection again which is very positive news for the team. Wilfred is in his rehab. He’s not on the pitch so he’s not available for selection.”
Given the busy Christmas schedule that lies ahead for Leicester, the return of one a star couldn’t come at a better time.
