Live from King Power Stadium on Saturday at 10 AM ET on NBC Gold In their first meeting in the Premier League since February 28th, 2004, a dull 0-0 affair, let’s hope for more fireworks when the Wolves come to town. Wolverhampton Their first game back in the Premier League since 2012 was a home match against Everton, a team that spent heavily in the off-season. Everton’s big money signing, Richarlison, did not disappoint and his brace should have done enough if it weren’t for some big game heroics in front of the home crowd. Ruben Neves’ amazing free kick after the Phil Jagielka straight red and Raul Jimenez’s equalizer at 2-2. While Phil’s sending off is certainly up for debate, it makes an interesting footnote that he was sent off for a one footed tackle whilst Eric Bailly didn’t even see yellow for his two-footed tackle on James Maddison. Ruben Neves coupled with Diogo Jota are a menace in the Wolves midfield. Jota provided the assist that Jimenez buried and sent the home stand into a frenzy. Jota completed 32 passes at a 78% success rate. What he does lack is the defensive edge, which if Leicester can turn their possession into attack like they did against Manchester United, could prove to be difference on the day. Leicester City A tough start against United didn’t do a whole lot to stifle the Foxes spirit. A Daniel Amartey handball, while somewhat a fluke had he not extended his arm it would’ve been fine, lead to a Paul Pogba goal from the penalty spot. United’s luck continued to spoil the Foxes as David De Gea made several saves throughout the game as Leicester’s increased possession lead to some fine chances. A freak first touch from Luke Shaw saw him tee-up himself for a volley to make it 2-0. Leicester finally find the net thanks to talisman Jamie Vardy latching on to a terrific cross from Ricardo Pereira that almost went into the net itself! James Maddison was a fantastic addition to the squad and if his first match in the Premier League is any indicator to how much his talent will grow, we got him on a coup. His one key pass and 37 completed passes at a 78% rate of success gave Leicester a spark around the 18 yard box that they didn’t have last season. Match Prediction Leicester need to have a strong season at home to achieve any of their goals this season. With the first home game of the season up against a team newly promoted, it’s the perfect time to get the results right at home. A 3-1 win will do nicely.<doc-sep>Ahead of this weekend's Premier League action, Sportsmail will be providing you with all you need to know about every fixture, with team news, provisional squads, betting odds and Opta stats.

Leicester City kick off their King Power campaign with a cracker this weekend as they host newly-promoted Wolves in what will be their only home Midlands ‘derby’ of the season. Here’s everything you need to know about the fixture. What time is kick-off? Traditional fans rejoice, it’s a 3pm start for City and Wolves on Saturday, August 18. Is it on TV? Nope. There are five Premier League fixtures being broadcast live this weekend, but City v Wolves did not catch Sky or BT’s eye. Instead, there’s Cardiff v Newcastle (Saturday, 12.30, Sky), Chelsea v Arsenal (Saturday, 5.30, BT), Man City v Huddersfield (Sunday, 1.30, Sky), Brighton v Man United (Sunday, 4.0, Sky) and Crystal Palace v Liverpool (Monday, 8.0, Sky). Who is the referee? Into his 19th season as a top-flight official, the Premier League’s current longest-serving referee Mike Dean will be in charge this weekend. He was the man in the middle for three City fixtures last season: the 4-3 defeat at Arsenal, the 1-1 home draw with West Brom and the 5-0 thumping by Crystal Palace in which Marc Albrighton was sent off. What is the team news? Now fully fit, Jamie Vardy is expected to start on Saturday having scored from the bench at Manchester United. New centre-back Caglar Soyuncu has been granted a work permit but is unlikely to be involved as he recovers from a minor injury. Shinji Okazaki needs under-23 football before he is ready, while Matty James remains sidelined following an operation on his Achilles. For Wolves, £18m record signing Adama Traore could make his debut, having been declared fit by manager Nuno, but fellow summer signing Leander Dendoncker will not feature. Who is Wolves’ danger-man? A goal and an assist in Wolves’ draw with Everton last weekend, Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves is the one to watch. The Express & Star’s Wolves correspondent Tim Spiers told us : “The 21-year-old is a maestro and shows maturity beyond his years in the way he can control and dictate a game from midfield. “At times last year it was like he was playing a different sport – his vision and technique are unlike anything seen at Wolves for decades.” What is the form guide? There’s not a lot of form to go on just yet, Wolves drawing their Premier League comeback game 2-2 against 10-man Everton, with City losing 2-1 at Man United despite producing a decent performance. Who has the better recent record? City have only played Wolves twice in the past decade, winning 2-1 at home (Anthony Knockaert and David Nugent on target) and losing 2-1 away during the 2012-13 Championship season. The sides’ last top-flight meeting was a 0-0 draw in February 2004. That’s one of seven games the pair have played at the King Power, with City losing just once (4-1 in May 2007). What are the key stats? If Jamie Vardy scores, he will reach 50 King Power goals (and 90 for City overall). However, City’s record when their talisman nets is pretty poor. In the 19 games in which Vardy has scored since the start of last season, City have lost 10 (winning six and drawing three). What are the odds? At 11/10, City are favourites for the victory. Wolves are available at around 14/5 for the three points. Odds are subject to change.
