Follow all the action from Molineux Stadium
Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Leicester City 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:
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leicester City
Leicester's slow drift back down into the Championship continues as they are swept aside on the road at Wolves. Cunha's first-half goal broke the Foxes resistance and Van Nistelrooy's team looked doomed from there on. Strand Larsen and substitute Gomes fired home from crisp Cunha assists to completely take the game away from Leicester either side of Vardy's penalty miss. Leicester's No.9 was denied a chance to move onto 199 club goals as the clock ticks down on his Foxes career. Wolves' full-time xG of 2.22 shows how potent they were with Vardy's penalty accounting for the bulk of Leicester's 1.15 xG.
