Ruud van Nistelrooy has named his starting line up for Leicester City’s game against Wolves.
The Foxes are looking to return to winning ways after Leicester were beaten 4-0 by Newcastle United last time out.
Leicester can expect a resurgent Wolves side after Vitor Pereira was appointed midweek and a win could send the Foxes five points clear of the bottom three in the Premier League.
Mads Hermansen is sadly still out due to injury while Boubakary Soumare has returned to the starting XI, but there is no place for Facundo Buonanotte, who remains on the bench.
Due to Hermansen’s absence it’s Danny Ward who starts in goal at the King Power Stadium and fans have given their verdict on the line up.

Ward hasn’t exactly set the world alight for the Foxes over the past two years and conceded three goals in quick succession against Newcastle last weekend.
Van Nistelrooy had no choice but to name him in the XI on Sunday and Foxes fans are less than impressed: “Ward. Might as well give them the win now.

“Might as well give Wolves the three points now with Ward in goal , he’s as much use as a chocolate teapot.”
“Seriously you’re playing Ward over Iversen Ruud?” commented another.

One of the big news is that Mattheus Cunha has been cleared to play for Wolves and the Brazilian starts against the Foxes.
Cunha was facing an FA charge for an incident during the west midlanders’ defeat against Ipswich Town last weekend.
Jorgen Strand Larsen also leads the line for the away side and could prove to be a problem for the likes of Conor Coady.
