Wolverhampton Wanderers host Leicester City on Sunday afternoon in a Premier League meeting between two of the division's bottom three.
The Molineux hierarchy belatedly provided some sense of stability by confirming interim boss Steve Davis will remain at the helm until 2023. The boyhood Wolves fan has accrued three points from as many games in charge.
Brendan Rodgers steered Leicester City off the foot of the table with a win against Leeds United on Thursday night which helped steady his own position.

Wolves team news
Davis is set to still be without long-term absentees Chiquinho (knee) and Pedro Neto (ankle). The unavailability of both strikers Sasa Kalajdzic and Raul Jimenez has forced Diego Costa into three consecutive starts for Wolves. Whether the 34-year-old will be fresh enough to line up from the off on Sunday remains to be seen.
Toti Gomes missed the midweek defeat to Crystal Palace with a fitness concern after filling in for Nathan Collins, who has completed his three-match suspension. Rayan Ait-Nouri is a doubt through illness.
Wolves predicted lineup vs Leicester
Wolves Starting 11 (4-2-3-1): Sa; Semedo, Collins, Kilman, Bueno; Moutinho, Neves; A Traore, Nunes, Guedes; Podence.

Leicester team news
James Maddison and Jonny Evans missed Leicester's second win of the season in midweek but both are in contention of featuring this Sunday. Maddison's one-game suspension has elapsed while Rodgers remained vague over the impending availability of his centre-back, offering: "We'll see how he is for the weekend."
Wilfred Ndidi faces at least another week on the sidelines with a thigh problem while Caglar Soyuncu is nursing a knee injury. Ryan Bertrand (knee) and Ricardo Pereira (Achilles) have both been in the treatment room since August with ailments that are expected to drag into 2023.

Wolves vs Leicester score prediction
Wolves' only home defeat of the current campaign was inflicted by Manchester City. Leicester are the only team in the division to have lost all five of their matches on the road this season, conceding an unholy 19 goals in the process.
Sunday's goal-shy hosts aren't likely to balloon that figure much further. However, with two days extra rest, Wolves could extend their encouraging home form against a side that may be grateful for their first point on the road of the campaign.
Prediction: Wolves 1-1 Leicester
