Prediction: 2-1
Wolverhampton Wanderers
As expected, Leicester City were beaten by Manchester United at Old Trafford in the opening match of the season. The Foxes are eager to record their first win of the season and there is every chance Jamie Vardy, who found the net in the 2-1 loss to the Red Devils, will return to the starting line-up. Riyad Mahrez is likely to be sorely missed in the 2018/2019 Premier League campaign, but coach Claude Puel has a number of high-profile players to choose from who are definitely capable of beating Wolverhampton at their King Power Stadium. The Portuguese colony, on the other hand, played out a 2-2 draw with ten-man Everton in their opener, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Saturday’s football match against Leicester City. The Foxes played well against Man Utd and we predict that they will give fans some cheer this weekend.

Highlighted Player (Jamie Vardy):
Spending his early career playing no-league football, Jamie Vardy made the headlines when he joined Leicester City in a £1 million deal in 2012, but little did he know that he would go on to become a genuine Premier League star just three years later. The experienced forward helped the Foxes gain promotion to the elite division and then score more than 20 goals as they mounted an unlikely title bid, earning worldwide acclaim as well as a place in the England squad. Vardy went on to score his first two goals for the Three Lions in March 2016 friendlies, with his back-heel goal against Germany in Berlin seeing him instantly become a fans’ favourite. Over the years, Vardy has earned a reputation as a striker who never gives up and can be a real menace for opposition defenders, but his excellent goalscoring record and good link-up play are enough to suggest he can be described as a mix of old-style pacey forwards and modern strikers.
