Wolves Premier League guide: The latest fixtures, results, team news and Wolves odds
Wolves recorded their first Premier League win in over a month last weekend, beating Forest 1-0 in a dramatic game at Molineux. After Ruben Neves had converted a penalty for the hosts, the home side were indebted to a brilliant save from Jose Sa to deny Forest an equaliser from a spot-kick of their own.
The Old Gold couldn’t hold on at Crystal Palace midweek, but there were encouraging signs as Adama Traore gave them the lead. Wolves will be looking to climb out of the relegation zone this weekend.
We’ve taken a look at all you need to know about Wolves – from their next league game, to the latest football betting odds.
When is the next Wolves Premier League fixture?
Wolves are at home this weekend, facing Leicester City at Molineux on Sunday at 14:00. With both sides closer to the bottom of the Premier League table than they would like, it’s a big game for the hosts and a chance to put some distance between themselves and the drop zone.
Wolves won this fixture 2-1 back in February, and the home side would love a repeat result on Sunday. Ruben Neves and Daniel Podence were the goalscorers that day in a feisty encounter that saw the referee flash eight yellow cards.
What are the odds that Wolves win their next game?
Wolves are 5/4 to beat Leicester and record back-to-back home wins following their victory over Nottingham Forest. They haven’t lost a league game against Leicester at Molineux since 2006, although two of the last three have finished 0-0 – another draw is 23/10, and another goalless stalemate is 10/1.
Playmaker Ruben Neves scored against Leicester in the last meeting, and found the net last week from the penalty spot. Neves loves a long-range shot and is 8/1 to score from outside the box on Sunday, and you can also get 5/1 that the first goal of the game arrives via a penalty for either side. Wolves to win 1-0 with Neves the goalscorer is 35/1.
Despite changing manager, Wolves show no signs of losing their defensive stability: their 11 games have seen a total of 19 goals scored so far, one of the lowest totals in the league. It’s EVS that one or both teams fails to find the net, and you can also get 19/10 that Wolves keep a clean sheet.

What is the latest Wolves injury and transfer news?
Wolves are hoping to have left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri fit in time for Sunday, but he remains a doubt – as does another defender, Toti. Pedro Neto is expected to be out until after the World Cup, and Raul Jimenez’s groin injury looks like keeping him out for another 3-4 weeks. Nathan Collins has completed his suspension but Sasa Kalajdzic remains out for the season.
Who are Wolves’ key players?
Ruben Neves is Wolves’ playmaker, dovetailing brilliantly with his fellow Portuguese international Joao Moutinho. Raul Jimenez is a powerful forward and was the club’s top scorer last season.

What are the Wolves odds to finish in the top six of the Premier League?
Wolves are 80/1 to record a top-six finish in the Premier League this season, following last year’s 10th-place finish. The Midlands can expect to be as solid at the back again this year, but will need to unlock greater creativity going forward if they are to climb the league.
Who is the manager of Wolves?
After parting company with Bruno Lage in October, Wolves confirmed that interim coach Steve Davis will be given the opportunity to remain in his position for the remainder of 2022. Davis has plenty of knowledge of the current squad and will hope to bring some stability to the club after a rocky start to the season, before Wolves renew their search for a long-term appointment in the new year.
Where is Wolves’ stadium?
Wolves played at several grounds in the early years of their existence, but moved to their current home of Molineux in 1889. Located close to Wolverhampton’s city centre, Molineux was the site of the first-ever English league game when Wolves beat Notts County 2-0 in September 1889.
