Leicester City have lost just one of their last 24 home league matches against Wolverhampton Wanderers (W14 D9), suffering a 4-1 defeat in May 2007 in the Championship.

Jamie Vardy has scored six goals in six Premier League appearances in Leicester's opening match of the season, the joint-most with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah of any current Premier League player in Matchweek 1.

Wolves are unbeaten in their last eight opening league matches since losing to Leeds United in 2012/13 in the Championship (W4 D4).

Since Wolves’ return to the Premier League in 2018, they have failed to score in five of their six meetings with Leicester (W1 D3 L2), with the exception being a 4-3 home win in January 2019.
