Sunday’s Premier League action continues at Molineux, as Wolverhampton Wanderers host Leicester City at 16:30 GMT.

Notably, this is Wolves’ first Double Gameweek 26 match, with a trip to Arsenal to follow on Thursday.

Bruno Lage makes just one change from last weekend’s 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur, with Joao Moutinho coming in for Luke Cundle, who drops to the bench alongside Pedro Neto, who last appeared in April 2021.

For the visitors, James Maddison is only a substitute after feeling unwell in midweek, whilst Harvey Barnes is out because of a tight hamstring.

That means Marc Alrighton and Ademola Lookman line-up on the flanks, supporting lone forward Patson Daka.

Elsewhere, Luke Thomas replaces James Justin, who is out with a muscle injury.

DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 26 LINE-UPS

Wolverhampton Wanderers XI: Sa, Kilman, Coady, Saiss, Semedo, Dendoncker, Neves, Moutinho, Ait-Nouri, Podence, Jimenez

Subs: Ruddy, Marcal, Neto, Trincao, Silva, Jonny, Toti, Hwang, Cundle

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Amartey, Soyuncu, Thomas, Ndidi, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Albrighton, Lookman, Daka

Subs: Ward, Jakupovic, Maddison, Iheanacho, Perez, Choudhury, Vestergaard, Mendy, Soumare

      With 2xCity kids who could get rested, I'd make sure first sub is a reasonable, even if cheap, pick

          I thought a Burnley mid or defender but you're maxed there.
          To be honest, I'm going to go back on my advice as I'm not sure I'd downgrade anyone to give you a bit more money on the bench. Just get someone nailed who will at least give you 2 points and pray Pep does you good

      Yeah, City mids can be rotated, Livramento too maybe. So 1 decent sub I would say.

        Perhaps go KDB or Mahrez and for 2nd spot a non-City midfielder. Not as sexy but mitigates the rotation issue

      You could downgrade Mahrez to JWP to free up some cash, that would give you a bit more bench cover....but I do like the Mahrez pick, so it's a tough call.

    FH going well this week but means I have this mess back for 27 before a 28 WC

    DDG (Foster)
    Cancelo, Digne, Cucurella (TAA, White)
    Bruno, Bowen, Trossard, Gray* (Jota)
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Dennis

    Thoughts on:
    A. Jota & Antonio -> Broja & Son (-4)
    B. Cucurella, Jota & Antonio -> Livramento, Son & Weghorst (-8)
    C. Jota & Trossard -> JWP & midfielder (maybe Cornet, Coutinho or even Kulusevski).

    Thanks

      Looks good, sensible to avoid use of chips

      Looks fine to me. I'm doing King to Broja and probably captain Weghorst myself.

    Dumb question sorry.

    I’m on FH (already hit the buttton). If I do Salah > Son now to beat Son’s rise - I’ll still get any Salah rise on his value when he’s back in my team yeah?

    Well FH going well, sort of. All my Mids and FWD's returned 5 or more.

    But my DEfence double Pool (TAA, VVD) and Double Arsenal (Ramsdale & Gabriel) was a disaster. 5 pts between them. Even my 2 bench defenders were bad too, 2pts for Coady and Tarkowski now injured.

      14 points across Foster, Dementia and Guehi on the bench.
