“What a Devastating lineup, this might as well give Wolves the three points now with Ward in goal”- Leicester City fans in all agreement about the side Ruud van Nistelrooy has named to play against Wolves
Ruud van Nistelrooy has revealed his starting lineup for Leicester City’s clash with Wolves, as the Foxes aim to bounce back after their heavy 4-0 defeat to Newcastle United in their last match.
Leicester will face a Wolves side eager to impress following the midweek appointment of Vitor Pereira, and a victory could lift the Foxes five points clear of the Premier League relegation zone.
Mads Hermansen remains sidelined due to injury, while Boubakary Soumare returns to the starting lineup. However, Facundo Buonanotte is left on the bench.
With Hermansen unavailable, Danny Ward takes the starting goalkeeper spot at the King Power Stadium, a decision that has sparked frustration among some Leicester fans. Ward, who has faced criticism for his performances over the past two years, conceded three goals in quick succession against Newcastle last weekend. Many supporters are not happy with his inclusion in the starting XI, with some expressing their disappointment on social media.
One fan wrote, “Ward. Might as well give them the win now.” Another added, “Honestly, Iversen or Stolarczyk are levels above Danny Ward, and they’re both fit. We can’t let Wolves have a single shot.” A third user said, “Might as well give Wolves the three points now with Ward in goal; he’s as useful as a chocolate teapot.”
In contrast, Wolves have received some positive news, with Mattheus Cunha cleared to play after facing an FA charge following an incident in their loss to Ipswich Town. The Brazilian starts for Wolves, alongside Jorgen Strand Larsen, who will lead the attack and could pose a challenge for Leicester’s defense, particularly Conor Coady.
