Leicester City Premier League guide: The latest fixtures, results, team news and Leicester City odds
Leicester had two homes games this week and took advantage, picking up four points and putting two clean sheets on the board. The latter is likely to please Brendan Rodgers just as much as the points, after Leicester had been hit for five and six during the previous run of games.
The win over Leeds on Thursday was impressive, with a Robin Koch own goal and a neat finish from Harvey Barnes giving the Foxes the three points. That lifts Leicester off the bottom of the Premier League table and means they will likely climb out of the bottom three with another positive result this weekend.
We’ve taken a look at all you need to know about Leicester – from their next league game, to the latest football betting odds.
When is the next Leicester Premier League fixture?
Leicester make the relatively short trip to Wolves on Sunday, kicking off at Molineux at 14:00. The Foxes are yet to win at Molineux in the Premier League in five previous visits and lost here last season – but haven’t lost consecutive matches against Wolves since 1992.
Leicester did beat Wolves as recently as August last year, albeit at King Power Stadium. Jamie Vardy got the only goal in a 1-0 win. Wolves are currently managerless and sit in the relegation zone themselves after a poor start to this campaign.
What are the odds that Leicester win their next game?
Leicester are 11/5 to beat Wolves on Sunday and get a first away win of the season. After five away defeats out of five, Brendan Rodgers may be pleased enough with a point on the road – a draw is 23/10.
Patson Daka has been a bright spark for Leicester so far, particularly away from home. The Leicester forward has been involved in three goals in his last three Premier League away games, with two goals and an assist to his name in that span. Daka is 9/2 to open the scoring at Molineux, and 9/2 to record three or more shots on target in the game with Enhanced Odds.
Wolves are the lowest scorers in home games in the Premier League this season, with just three scored. Could this be a rare clean sheet on the road for the Foxes? They are 14/5 to keep Wolves from scoring on Sunday.

What is the latest Leicester injury and transfer news?
Caglar Soyuncu is a major doubt with a knee injury – it’s not thought to be serious at this stage, but he is unlikely to be risked in this one. Wilfried Ndidi and Jonny Evans are closing in on a return to first-team action, although both may be given another week to recover. Ryan Bertrand and Ricardo Pereira are both long-term absentees.
Who are Leicester’s key players?
James Maddison has been in outstanding form this season, with the creative midfielder finding the back of the net regularly amidst increasing calls for him to be included in England’s World Cup squad. Maddison is supported by the dynamic young pair of Harvey Barnes and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, while Patson Daka and the irrepressible Jamie Vardy continue to threaten defenders.

What are the Leicester odds to finish in the top half of the Premier League?
Leicester are now 6/1 to finish in the top half of the Premier League this season, following last season’s 8th-place finish. The Foxes have only finished outside of the top 10 once in the last seven seasons but have their work cut out this season after a slow start.
Who is the manager of Leicester?
Northern Irishman Brendan Rodgers has got the Foxes playing an attractive style of attacking football in a 4-3-3 formation that gets the best out of his young attackers. Rodgers was named LMA Manager of the Year in 2014, and guided Leicester to their first-ever FA Cup trophy in 2021.
Where is Leicester’s stadium?
After over a century at their previous home of Filbert Street, Leicester City moved to the modern King Power Stadium in 2002. With a capacity of 32,262, the stadium has already seen Leicester win the Premier League as well as charge to FA Cup glory. The ground was officially opened by legendary Leicester and England striker Gary Lineker.
