Leicester City make the short trip to Wolves on Friday evening as they have a chance to overtake Manchester City in second with a win.
The Foxes drew 2-2 with Chelsea at the King Power Stadium in the last game. They will be aiming to bounce back to winning ways at the Molineux.
Leicester’s opponents, Wolves, drew with Manchester United last time out and remain only six points out of the top four.
Nampalys Mendy is out with a knee injury and Daniel Amartey is undergoing surgery on an ankle problem. Wilfred Ndidi is serious doubt as is Wes Morgan, who recovers from an illness.
Meanwhile, on-loan defender Ryan Bennett will be ineligible to face his parent club at the Molineux.
Schmeichel is Leicester’s undisputed number one and should retain his place between the sticks.
Ricardo has been a consistent performer for the Foxes this season. He has nailed down his position at right-back and deserves to start against Wolves.
He has been rock-solid at the back this term. His experience and leadership skills will be key in keeping the home side at bay.
The Turk has been a revelation in the defence for the Foxes this season. He’s a certainty to start on Friday evening.
An attacking left-back, Chilwell will complete Leicester’s back four. He’ll have to be at the top of his game to stop Wolves from scoring.
With Ndidi a big doubt, Rodgers will likely persist with Hamza in a deeper role. The youngster will act as a shield in front of Foxes’ defence.
Ayoze has enjoyed a decent debut campaign with Leicester. The Spaniard will aim to deliver the goods and guide his team to victory on Friday.
The Belgian has been impressive in the Leicester engine room. He has been growing in stature and is certain to feature in this top fixture.
The Englishman has been the Foxes’ most creative player in midfield. He will be key in opening up the stubborn Wolves defence.
Blessed with plenty of pace and power, Barnes could cause problems for Nuno’s side at the Molineux.
Vardy seems to be scoring goals for fun. With 17 goals and four assists in the league, he will be Wolves’ biggest threat.
