Wolves' winning run

Wolves have won each of their last five Premier League games, last having a longer run in the top-flight in October 1970 (6).

Headed goal today?

Both Wolves and Leicester have conceded a league-high 12 headed goals in the Premier League this season. However, Wolves have netted the fewest headers of any side this term (2).

Leaky Leicester...

Leicester have conceded 73 goals in the Premier League this season. It’s their most in a single league campaign since 1994-95 (80), and most in a 20-team league since 1914-15 (88).

Cunha chasing Wolves record

Matheus Cunha has scored 14 Premier League goals this season – the only Wolves player with more in a single campaign is Raúl Jiménez (17 in 2019-20)

Maverick Cunha a risk for Man Utd?

Sky Sports' Adam Bate at Molineux:

"Matheus Cunha was strongly linked with a move to Manchester United this week and that makes sense given that Ruben Amorim is playing the same formation as Wolves and the forward has a much-publicised release clause.

"Worth acknowledging, however, that there are questions over his temperament given those two suspension served this season. Cunha is a marvellous player. Can his maverick tendencies be curbed or are they part of what makes him special?

"Profile the player here with help from Nelson Semedo and Rodrigo Gomes, while reflecting on earlier conversations with Gary O'Neil and Cunha himself..."

Cunha 'perfect fit' for Amorim?

Speaking on the Transfer Talk Podcast, Sam Tighe explains why Matheus Cunha is the perfect fit for Ruben Amorim's Manchester United side.

'Devastated' Coady opens up on season

Sky Sports' Adam Bate at Molineux:

"It was really interesting to talk to Conor Coady recently to get his thoughts on why Leicester have struggled so badly this season. In particular, we spoke in the context of Coady having previously captained a promoted team - Wolves - to a European qualification.

"He had some strong views on the gulf between the Championship and Premier League, arguing that it can be bridged if clubs like Leicester were to make better decisions."

Clean sheet for Leicester?

Leicester have kept just one clean sheet in the Premier League this season and have conceded in each of their last 26 matches. It’s their longest run without a league clean sheet since a streak of 37 between February and December 1957.

Vardy's impending exit explained

Sky Sports News senior reporter Rob Dorsett breaks down Jamie Vardy's exit from Leicester City and says the England forward believes he can offer more to other Premier League clubs.

Vardy's moving Leicester goodbye

Following the announcement of his exit from Leicester City, Jamie Vardy says goodbye to the fans, admitting he's gutted to be leaving the club but that the timing of the decision is right.

Last time out for Leicester...

Omens...

Leicester have won just three of their last 19 away league games against Wolves (D7 L9), though one of these was a 4-0 victory in their most recent visit in October 2022.

Leicester have only kept more Premier League clean sheets against Newcastle (13) and Southampton (9) than they have against Wolves (8), despite only facing the Midlands side 13 times in the competition.

Foxes due a goal?

Leicester have failed to score in a league-high 15 different Premier League games this season, only failing to do so in more in the 2001-02 campaign (19).

Last time out for Wolves...

Wolves change two | Buonanotte in

Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa returns with Matt Doherty also fully fit to start so Dan Bentley and Santi Bueno make way.

Leicester City's Stephy Mavididi is injured so Facundo Buonanotte replaces him. Jamie Vardy starts, while Conor Coady faces the club he captained.

Dismal season for Leicester

Leicester have been relegated from the Premier League for the fifth time, after 1994-95, 2001-02, 2003-04 and 2022-23. The last time they suffered the drop before the final game of the season was in 2003-04, with the Foxes winning their first game following relegation back then (3-1 vs Portsmouth).

Nottingham Forest clung on for a 2-1 win at Tottenham to get their Champions League chase back on track and jump up to third in the Premier League table.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side had slipped out of the top five over the weekend due to wins for Manchester City and Chelsea but bounced back from consecutive defeats with a flying start in north London. Elliot Anderson's deflected strike and Chris Wood's header had them two up inside 16 minutes.

It was then all about their defence. Forest switched to a back three and Spurs piled forwards. The visitors' resistance was eventually broken by Richarlison when he headed in with three minutes of normal time remaining, but Forest battled to the final whistle and a crucial three points.

Former Spurs boss Nuno has now steered Forest to their first double over the north Londoners since 1997 and his side go bouncing into their FA Cup semi-final with Man City on Sunday dreaming of European adventures. What a job he has done, transforming a club that was battling relegation last season.

There were boos for Spurs at full-time, despite posting 22 shots to Forest's four. They gave themselves too much to do with their sloppy start.

Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario should have done better with both Forest goals, seeing the first effort go through his hands, and then flying out of his goal to punch a cross but getting nowhere near the ball for the second. He was also too easily beaten by Wood in between - although a VAR offside call spared him on that occasion.

Mathys Tel and Richarlison spurned good chances to respond before the break, and a stunning goal-line clearance from Harry Toffolo denied Dejan Kulusevski in the second half. It was some way for the full-back to mark his first Premier League start of the season.

Tottenham, in action for the first time since their Europa League quarter-final success in Frankfurt on Thursday, ended up posting an expected goals figure of 2.14 to Forest's 0.64 but were repeatedly repelled, with Matz Sels saving brilliantly from Richarlison when it looked like he had found a corner.

The Brazilian won that battle in the end, nodding inside the post on 87 minutes, but ultimately Spurs' early errors and an 18th Premier League defeat of the season stall their momentum from that win in Germany. They remain on course for a worst-ever Premier League finish in between a search for silverware salvation in the Europa League.

Carra: A huge win for Forest

Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher on MNF:

"It feels huge for Forest, not just the points and where it puts them in the table, but psychologically with what has happened in the last couple of weeks. They've had defeats and the opposition have been smelling blood in and around them. Other teams have been in great form in Aston Villa, Newcastle and Man City. That was a big result.

"You could see what Nuno wanted to do in the second half. We've seen them do it so often this season, going to that back five. Not always at half-time, but he backed his defenders and his goalkeeper to get a clean sheet. They almost did it.

"It was a bit nervy for them late on. The goalkeeper made some really good saves and there was a goal-line clearance that was out of this world. But Forest have been a revelation and I think most neutrals want to see them keep going until the end of the season. They don't want to see it peter out."

Nuno: We're in a fight no one expected, us included!

Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo:

"The final minutes were full of anxiety. Wishing the time to go faster. Tottenham put us against the ropes. We reacted really well from the previous performances. The team started well, we were dominant even without the ball. The way we compete is as a team.

"We wished in the second half we could be more positive going forward but you have to credit your opponent and you can't ignore when you're in front of the result the priority is to protect the game."

On Forest's unlikely tilt for Champions League football: "We have to realise we're in a fight no one expected, us included. We don't want to prove anybody wrong. We have a big desire to compete. We are in the mix against big teams. That can only make us proud. We embrace the challenge. We're going to Wembley to compete against a big team. As long as we keep this approach, competing well, you never know."

Postecoglou: We totally dominated - but another unacceptable loss

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou:

"It's another game we've lost when we shouldn't lose. It's been part of our season that we make things really difficult for ourselves in key moments, concentration, giving away poor goals. It's a shame because our football was outstanding. We totally dominated the game. But it's another unacceptable loss.

"I don't need to say anything to the fans. It's too many losses, I know that. They clearly wouldn't be happy with our results. But neither am I or the players. It's something we need to accept responsibility for - that we've fallen short of the standards we have"
