Under the guidance of head coach V\u00edtor Pereira, Wolves have experienced a remarkable turnaround, securing Premier League safety with a series of impressive performances. This fixture presents an opportunity for them to continue their positive momentum and finish the season on a high note. Here is our Wolves predicted lineup.<\/p>\n<h2>Wolves Predicted Lineup Vs Leicester As Hosts Look to Continue Impressive Winning Streak<\/h2>\n<h3>How Wolves Have Lined Up Recently<\/h3>\n<p>Wolves have consistently used a 3-4-2-1 since Pereira&#8217;s appointment in December, emphasising defensive solidity and structured play. Dan Bentley started between the sticks against <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=G8CtHPXTj_8\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester United<\/a> last time out. The back three featured Toti Gomes, Emmanuel Agbadou, and Santiago Bueno. The midfield was made up of: Rayan A\u00eft-Nouri, Andr\u00e9, Jo\u00e3o Gomes, and N\u00e9lson Semedo. Mathues Cunha, J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen, and Marshall Munetsi occupied the forward positions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/04\/22\/man-united-cunha-chase\/\" target=\"_self\">&#8216;I Need To Be Fighting For Titles&#8217;: Man United Move Closer To &#8216;Clinical&#8217; Attacker<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Wolves Recent Form And Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>Wolves have been in exceptional form, achieving five consecutive Premier League victories &#8211; a feat not accomplished since 1970. This resurgence is attributed to Pereira&#8217;s tactical adjustments, focusing on defensive organisation and effective counter-attacking play. The team&#8217;s defensive record has significantly improved, reducing the number of goals conceded. Set-piece vulnerabilities have also been addressed. Offensively, Wolves have capitalised on quick transitions and the creative prowess of players like Pablo Sarabia, who scored the decisive free-kick against Manchester United.<\/p>\n<h3>Injuries To Consider<\/h3>\n<p>Jos\u00e9 S\u00e1 was back in training this week after being withdrawn minutes before kickoff against Manchester United and is expected to start against Leicester. During the pre-match <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.wolves.co.uk\/news\/features\/20250425-preview-wolves-vs-leicester\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">press conference<\/a>, Pereira said that Jean Ricner-Bellegarde and Hee Chan Hwang are fitness doubts, but he hopes they will be involved. Matt Doherty is also expected to return to the starting line up after being on the bench last time out due to a niggle. Long-term absentees include Enso Gonzalez, Sasa Kalajdzic, Yerson Mosquera, and Leon Chiwome, who are not expected to return until at least June.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/04\/17\/jorgen-strand-larsen-wolves\/\" target=\"_self\">How J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen&#8217;s Newfound Form Can Help Wolves Push For Europe Next Season<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Wolves Predicted Lineup Vs Leicester City<\/h3>\n<p>GK: Jos\u00e9 S\u00e1<\/p>\n<p>Defence: Matt Doherty, Emmanuel Agbadou, &amp; Toti Gomes<\/p>\n<p>Midfield: N\u00e9lson Semedo, Jo\u00e3o Gomes, Andr\u00e9, &amp; Rayan A\u00eft-Nouri<\/p>\n<p>Forwards: Marshall Munetsi, Matheus Cunha, &amp; J\u00f8rgen Strand Larsen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to host Leicester City on April 26 at Molineux Stadium.
