Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Follow live coverage as Leicester City face Wolverhampton Wanderers today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Manchester City look to make it an unprecedented five titles in a row come the end of 2024/25.

The likes of Arsenal and Liverpool will be chasing Pep Guardiola's side, but just as fascinating will be the race for Champions League places, with more teams than ever before having designs on top-four finishes. Chelsea remain big-spending, Manchester United's latest rebuild continues and both Tottenham and Newcastle will expect improvements this year - yet it was Aston Villa who snared fourth last term.

Meanwhile, it's Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

15:54

What an introduction to the Premier League for Vitor Pereira. They move to within two points of safety after a 3-0 win against fellow relegation strugglers Leicester City. The performance was so good, that it felt like there were more Wolves fans than Leicester fans at the end, with Guedes tucking in an opener after Vestergaard misread the lofted ball. The Foxes fans were silenced and it was only after Rodrigo Gomes’ strike that summoned the boos, which became louder after Cunha made it three before half-time. Van Nistelrooy’s side improved after the break, but couldn’t dent the deficit despite the xG only being 1.05 to 0.84 in Wolves’ favour. That’s football and it doesn't get easier for the Dutch coach with Aston Villa, Liverpool and Manchester City the next three games.

Joao Gomes has a great opportunity to cap off the victory. The Brazilian swoops down to meet Cunha's cross but it bobbles wide. He has his hands, it was a bad miss.

As much as Leicester have improved defensively, once they got into the final third sloppiness infiltrates their play and kills a lot of the attacks.

Cunha tries a cheeky attempt. A free-kick around 35 yards out was the position and he tried to catch Ward out but couldn't get it on target.

15:29

Bueno goes close! The Spaniard attacks Cunha's cross but it flashes wide. That was a real let-off for Leicester.

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

15:26

Choudhary has been really influential since coming on. The defender has been strong and imposing against Rodrigo Gomes and Cunha so far.

15:23

Wolves seem to be happy to just absorb this pressure, but it feels like it might only be a matter of time before Leicester get one back. Vardy tries to flick-on a free-kick but goes straight towards Sa.

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

15:20

Ayew tries to swivel in the box ad test Sa but a sea of orange gets in between him and the Portuguese goalie to block the shot.

15:17

Vardy again races behind Wolves' defence and this time gets to the ball. The striker tries to go around the 'keeper but takes it too wide and hits the side-netting.

Leicester aren't giving up here! Kristiansen tries to play through Vardy but Sa is quick off his line and claims the ball. He took one for the team as he was clattered into the Englishman.

We are underway in the second half, surely Leicester can't get any worse!

Leicester are met with boos as they trudge off the pitch here. They have been abysmal so far, and the Foxes' fans are letting them know! Guedes has been on fire opening the scoring when he tucked a shot past Ward. Vestergaard lost his marker, and for the second goal, it was a similar story as Rodrigo Gomes sneaks behind Justin to poke in. Guedes added to his strike with a great assist for Cunha, who lashed a shot past the Welshman. Lots of work to do for Van Nistelrooy and his team.

WHAT A CHANCE FOR VARDY! He stalls taking his shot and by the time he shoots Toti comes to the rescue to clear the ball off the line.

14:42

It's crazy who quickly things can turn around in football, Wolves were in chaos in the last game and now the whole team against Leicester are playing with confidence and are looking to add another.

Vardy at 37-years-old is flying into slide tackles and squared up to Strand Larsen. He is the most pumped player on the pitch, if only he could transfer some of that into his teammates!

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

14:31

Leicester are building in confidence after conceding, they have won a couple of corners and are putting high balls in and around Sa.

Goal Gonçalo Manuel Ganchinho Guedes

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

14:19

Little for any goalkeeper to do just yet, with a long ball asking questions of Leicester's defence. It is managed just about by Kristiansen but the corner is denied thanks to an offside.

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

14:16

Well... that was a waste. Anthony Taylor kept us waiting for the set-piece to be taken and Cunha rolled it into no one.

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

14:14

Guedes has been lively for Wolves and he wins a free-kick on the edge of the box after Soumare clips the winger.

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

14:11

Sa does very well here! Vardy races onto a get through-ball, but just as it looks like the Englishman will get to the ball, Sa comes out, chests it away, and clears it again. It didn't look compelling, but he did well.

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

14:09

Both teams have enjoyed little spells of possession, Wolves started first but now Leicester are taking control, with Justin pushing really high up the pitch.

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

14:06

Early support from Wolves' travelling fans as they chant "Ooooh Vitor Pereira." They were keen for a managerial change.

Kick-off is fast approaching at the King Power Stadium, can either team get a vital win to boost their survival hopes?

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

13:50

A slight boost for Pereira is that Cunha is able to start, as he appealed his ban that was given to him after the Ipswich game. The Portuguese boss is without Ait-Nouri who was more unlucky as he was shown a red card after the shocking 2-1 loss last weekend. Gary O'Neil's back-three formation is also being used today, as Pereira looks to build on the small positives shown in the English coach's final few months in charge.

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

13:45

Van Nistelrooy has been consistent with his centre-back partnership with Coady and Vestergaard being the two favourites for him and the Dutchman will hope that the backing of those two will lead to a strong partnership to build the base of his team around. Unsurprisingly, Vardy has been one of the stars under Van Nistelrooy! The evergreen striker has got two goals in three games since the manager change.

Vitor Pereira is taking charge of his first game as Wolves manager, and fresh off leaving his job as Al-Shabab manager in Saudi Arabia. It was a brave choice, and the Portuguese manager walked into one of the most chaotic situations in the league. Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Mario Lemina have all got in some sort of brawl after the final whistle in their last two games, so keeping this team calm and building camaraderie will undoubtedly be the first job for him.

Leicester City vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

13:34

Two of the newest managers in the Premier League face off against each other today, and both of them will be looking at this fixture as a game they must, and more importantly can, win. Ruud Van Nistelrooy has picked up four points in his first three games, but come into this game off a 4-0 battering against Newcastle. The Foxes have shown fight under the Dutchman but also an inability to stop shots on their goal conceding over 70 in their last three games. Danny Ward could be in for a busy afternoon.
