Bruno Lage has chosen his Wolves starting eleven to face Leicester this afternoon.
It’s Lage’s first game as a Premier League manager as a new era at the club gets underway.
Leicester will be very tricky opponents and come into the game on the back of beating Manchester City in the Community Shield last week.
Perhaps the big team news is that Ki-Jana Hoever keeps his place at right wing-back, even though Nelson Semedo is back on the bench.
Fans react
Lage has gone with a 3-4-3 formation for his first competitive game in charge.
That will not necessarily go down especially well with some supporters, who are looking for signs of change since the Nuno Espirito Santo era.
He’s chosen the same starting XI which began the 1-0 home friendly loss against Celta Vigo last week.
The first half performance in that game wasn’t good enough and improved at half-time when Leander Dendoncker came off the bench but the Belgian international is a substitute again here.
Here’s how the team news went down with some fans on Twitter:
- Rodrigo Gomes gives another hint about his Wolves future, but it’s the best yet
- Liam Keen sets record straight on Raul Jimenez after Molineux ‘sighting’
- There’s another ex-player Wolves should bring back as well as Raul Jimenez, he’s a free agent
- Jose Sa desire now shared after Wolves’ relegation to the Championship
- Dave Edwards thinks two players will love Wolves signing Kieran Trippier
