It’s something of a baptism of fire for the Portuguese tactician given that the Foxes finished fifth last season and won the FA Cup. Ahead of the first round of fixtures, the league has announced the list of refereeing appointments. Craig Pawson will take charge of the clash at the King Power Stadium, with Michael Oliver the lead VAR. CRAIG PAWSON’S PREVIOUS WOLVES ENCOUNTERS Pawson was the man in the middle for three Wolves matches last season. He oversaw two defeats against Liverpool – 4-0 at Anfield in December and 1-0 at Molineux in March – and also an incident-packed 2-1 victory over Arsenal. The game featured two red cards for the Gunners, with David Luiz and Bernd Leno dismissed, and a penalty that Ruben Neves tucked away. Overall, Pawson brandished 80 yellow cards over the course of the season, the fifth-highest total among the division’s officials. Fan feed Talking Wolves relayed the news once it was confirmed, and here’s what supporters made of it. THESE WOLVES FANS PESSIMISTIC AFTER PAWSON NEWS “We could do with some of those officials in the euros, they knew how to ref” Credit: @WolfSomerset “Leicester to win via dodgy VAR decision” Credit: @richydafish “Doesn’t matter who refs, they’re all as bad as each other” Credit: @mark_spruce “Deffo Leicester get a penalty” Credit: @salopwolf “May as well give Leicester the win now” Credit: @jckwebster “There’s no point” Sounds how we use to react to past Manutd/Arsenal. fixtures.

foxfanazer Posted 12 August 2021 Posted 12 August 2021 (edited) I know this place has it moments but you wanna read the match prediction thread on Molineux Mix. Most predicting a heavy defeat. I don't see it being that comfortable personally bit we should win Edited 12 August 2021 by foxfanazer

LFC_Charlie Posted 12 August 2021 Posted 12 August 2021 Same team as the Community Shield for me, though feel for Kelechi... Reckon it'll be a comfortable 2-0, Wolves don't appear to be the same team from past years. Also for those who play BetRebel, I've created a Leicester fans league if anyone wants to join. League code if anyones interested: t02SEe7qIdznQYG0c8mJ
rachhere Posted 12 August 2021 Posted 12 August 2021 Not sure if anyone has already said this, but just a heads up for anyone who usually gets the Birmingham to Leicester via Nuneaton train. There's engineering works so it's a partial bus replacement service, plus they are only running a once hourly service. They best be running one of the longer trains. 1

Iran Posted 12 August 2021 Posted 12 August 2021 Will be interesting to see if Vestergaard will feature in this match. Hopefully he will be able to. 1

He’ll have signed in time but it’s just not a very Rodgers thing to do to Chuck a new signing in straight away. Amartey played well on Saturday and we kept a clean sheet. No need to change it. 1

Rodgers said at his press conference this afternoon that the club "will see" if they can get the deal done in time. He would need to be registered before midday on Friday to feature against Wolves. Get more here. Jannik Vestergaard is set to be Leicester City's fourth signing of the summer (Image: Adam Davy/PA Wire) 14:20AMIE WILSON Hasenhuttl on Vestergaard The Southampton boss has also been speaking about the future of the defender. Here is what he had to say. 14:04JORDAN BLACKWELL Captain? “We confirmed that yesterday with the squad. Kasper will step forward in the role as captain. He’s been a wonderful ambassador for the club, and he’s perfect for the role as captain. He’s very inspirational on the field. Supporting him as vice-captain will be Jonny Evans. He knows the club, he will support the younger players. He’s still very hungry to keep winning and improving. They will be a great help to me.” 14:04JORDAN BLACKWELL Injuries? “We’re just going to make a final decision on Timothy tomorrow. He’s trained well. This week he’s joined in with his mask, and he feels comfortable. He’s done everything we would want for him to participate in the game. Jonny was out on the pitch today. The plan for him is for after the international break. We’re just assessing the pain of that.” 14:04JORDAN BLACKWELL Stadium? “It’s an incredible tribute to Khun Vichai and his legacy… You see some clubs and the decline that can set in, but the strength shown to continue this amazing journey. It’s been an incredible success. What I love about the ownership is their will to be better. They want to make the facilities better and that aligns with my view. The development of the stadium will bring us more supporters, and extra revenue and extra jobs for the city. Hopefully over the next decade we can continue that success.” 14:04JORDAN BLACKWELL Ghezzal and Praet? “Rachid is someone we will look to move on. I have to pay testament to him, his attitude was excellent in pre-season. He wants to continue playing. Dennis is someone who has returned later from pre-season training so we didn’t involve him. Where it goes for Dennis, it remains to be seen. He’s at that age where he will want game-time, but if he’s here, he’s available for us.” 14:03JORDAN BLACKWELL Arteta says toughest transfer window? “For the majority of clubs, it’s a tough market. Some will be able to spend more than others. Our success is built around planning and innovation and common sense. We have to have a common sense approach. We wanted to approve, but the pandemic has hit most clubs, including ourselves. But there will be exceptions and some teams will spend.” 14:03JORDAN BLACKWELL Why Vestergaard? “Without going into too much detail while it’s not done, we were very light in the area. It’s a great tribute to the club that we have acted quickly to get in a quality player. Once it’s done, I can speak more on it.” 14:03JORDAN BLACKWELL Players' improvements? “It’s why I do the job. My priority is teaching players, helping them develop, creating a culture that allows them to keep pushing. Each year we have improved on our points and our goals, and we will try to do that. It’s the biggest satisfaction of the job, seeing growth on and off the field.” 14:02JORDAN BLACKWELL Barnes? “He’s not up to speed physically yet. You see him in training and one v ones, he’s such a threat. I thought he was excellent in the game last weekend. I’m sure this will be a big season for him.” 14:02JORDAN BLACKWELL Wolves? “Nuno did a brilliant job in his time there, and they’ve moved on. They’ve brought Bruno a manager the hierarchy know well. He will thoroughly enjoy it in the Premier League. He normally plays 4-4-1-1, but they’ve gone back to 3-4-3 recently. All the games against Wolves have been tight, and I expect this to be the same.” 14:02JORDAN BLACKWELL Daka glimpses? “Him and Kelechi came into the game and continued with that thrust. They brought us that energy. Patson plays on the last line, and when he gets in there, he normally finishes. He will really help us this season.” 14:02JORDAN BLACKWELL New signings? “I always allow that first season for the adaption. Some will adapt very quickly to the football and life in general. You get some who adapt straight away. We’re pleased with the three we’ve brought in. Ryan with his experience and quality will be huge for us, and he will be important for Luke Thomas. Patson and Bouba have power and technique. I’m excited to see what they can do.” 14:02JORDAN BLACKWELL How improve on FA Cup win? “We have a memory of the FA Cup and an achievement that is going to bind us together for the rest of our lives, for the players, staff and supporters, it was an amazing day. But you have to keep looking forward, and get ready for a really exciting future. The idea is to get better every single day. I see the players’ confidence.” 14:01JORDAN BLACKWELL Community Shield? “We arrive into the season in a really good place. I don’t think any team is going to be at their highest level physically. We moved the ball well against a team that test your organisation. I thought we were very good in the game. It leaves us in a nice position and sets us up perfectly for the weekend.” 14:01JORDAN BLACKWELL Messi? “I adore Lionel Messi. You saw the sadness of him when he left Barcelona. He’s gone from a boy to a man to a hero there. He’s gone in a new direction. We always want to have the best players in the Premier League. He’s gone to a good club in PSG and there’s some frontline they’ve got there.” 14:01JORDAN BLACKWELL New winger? “We’ll see.” 14:01JORDAN BLACKWELL More transfers after Vestergaard? “I think we would. We’ve got players in early, but we want to add more in if we can. We know what we will like, but whether we can afford to do what we like.” 14:01JORDAN BLACKWELL Vestergaard? “There’s been contact by the clubs. There’s been nothing finalised. Yes (he’s up in Leicester). We’ll have to wait and see (if he can play at the weekend). We have permission for him to be here, and then we’ll see if we can get it done and if he’s available for the weekend.” 14:00JORDAN BLACKWELL How's Fofana? “He’s doing very well. He’s back home and he’s in great spirits. It’s hugely disappointing for him, but he’s had the operation and it’s gone very well. We look forward to seeing him in a few days when he comes in. These injuries can be between four and eight months so we have to see on that. With his ligaments, it will be on the longer side.” 13:34JORDAN BLACKWELL Rodgers has arrived Stay tuned for updates. 13:16JORDAN BLACKWELL Good afternoon Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Brendan Rodgers' press conference. The manager is due to sit down with the media at 1.30pm.
OadbyBlue Posted 12 August 2021 Posted 12 August 2021 Interesting comment about Barnes, he’s looked sharp as ever in pre season and in the community shield.

It sounds like Rodgers is saying he can't do the 90 minutes -- I wonder if he plans to change the shape and bring in Nacho and/or Daka at the 60 minute mark? 2
