With time running out, even Sa makes his way into the Leicester area for a late, late Wolves corner, but the goalkeeper is nowhere near the delivery and it seems that the Foxes will hold on.
FULL-TIME: LEICESTER CITY 2-1 WOLVES
90' +4
From 20 yards out, an ambitious volleyed attempt by Neves sends the ball tamely drifting wide of the right-hand post - much to the audible delight of the home fans!
90' +2
In the second minute of five indicated for stoppage time at the end of the match, a tired Daka shot from inside the box dribbles into Sa's gloves.
86'
Only able to reach Praet's cross from the left with a glancing header at full stretch, Soyuncu sends the ball well wide of the target from around 10 yards out.
85'
N. Mendy enters the game and replaces K. Ịheanachọ.
Smith removes another forward from his attacking lineup, as Iheanacho makes way for Mendy.
84'
Pedro Neto enters the game and replaces Toti Gomes.
Wolves are going for broke now, as a forward, Neto, replaces left-back Toti.
83'
Soyuncu charges down a powerful Neves attempt, then Iversen has to collect the ball under his crossbar after Hwang's shot loops up awkwardly.
81'
Daniel Podence enters the game and replaces Matheus Nunes.
Lopetegui turns to Podence for some late inspiration, as Nunes makes way.
80'
From the right, Nunes stands the ball up to the back post for Toti, but the unmarked full-back can only find the side-netting with his header from close range.
78'
Released into the area, Iheanacho twice delays when he should strike at goal, then Daka mishits a low shot which is deflected harmlessly towards Sa. That could've sealed the points for Leicester!
Minute
Description
77'
D. Praet enters the game and replaces Tetê.
76'
Praet is now thrown on to add more stability in midfield; Tete is withdrawn.
75'
T. Castagne has scored a goal for Leicester City! Assist by V. Kristiansen.
Crossing from the left side of the area, Kristiansen picks out the run of Castagne into the centre with a low pass.
LEICESTER LEAD! The Foxes fight back! Both full-backs are involved, as Kristansen bursts down the left to pull the ball towards the penalty spot, where Castagne smartly steers it into the net past Sa's despairing dive! He finds the bottom-right corner and makes it 2-1 to Leicester City!
74'
It's all Wolves now, as the home side sit back and absorb pressure. They will be targeting a quick counter-attack to catch their visitors out.
72'
Another dubious call goes Wolves' way, as Nunes topples over before Kristansen makes any contact and earns his team a free-kick inside Leicester's defensive third. Again, the set-piece ultimately comes to nothing.
70'
A 50-50 clash of shins between Semedo and Daka sees the decision go Wolves' way. The subsequent free-kick is then cleared from the box and Leicester regain control of the ball.
67'
W. Ndidi enters the game and replaces Y. Tielemans.
A below-par display from Tielemans comes to an early conclusion, as Ndidi replaces the Leicester City captain in midfield.
66'
Standing firm, Sa does well to palm a Soyuncu drive away, but the flag then goes up to indicate an offside on Iheanacho in any case.
65'
Matheus Cunha gets yellow.
Pointlessly, Cunha goes into the book for a tug-back on Faes, who was only making his way into the Wolves half and offered no immediate danger. He may go on to regret that.
63'
Since making their double change, Wolves have gained more control of proceedings. Costa does not offer much movement, so they will be a more mobile unit over the closing half-hour.
61'
JUST OVER! A typical Neves strike from a 25-yard free-kick sends the ball dipping narrowly over the top of Iversen's goal and onto the top of the net! He's already making an impact from off the bench.
60'
B. Soumaré gets yellow.
Lunging in on Gomes in a midfield challenge, Soumare has no hope of winning the ball and instead picks up a yellow card.
58'
Hwang Hee-Chan enters the game and replaces Pablo Sarabia.
João Moutinho enters the game and replaces Diego Costa.
Making his displeasure at being subbed plain for all to see, Costa also troops off, to be replaced by Moutinho.
Lopetegui can't be happy with how his team have performed in the second half so far - he makes a double substitution. First, Sarabia is replaced by Hwang.
54'
Soyuncu stays alert to read a throughball towards Costa on the edge of his own area, intercepting the ball and ending a Wolves counter-attack.
52'
Though he creates an opening with a clever run followed by a swift one-two, Dewsbury-Hall is unable to deliver an accurate cross from the left and Wolves clear the immediate danger. Still, though, Leicester are getting on the front foot in search of a second goal.
48'
After Tielemans overhits his free-kick from the right, the ball falls for Daka on the far side of the Wolves area. However, the latter's attempted cross drifts too close to Sa, who then reaches up to grasp the ball safely.
46'
K. Dewsbury-Hall enters the game and replaces J. Vardy.
Rúben Neves enters the game and replaces M. Lemina.
Wolves have also made a change at the break, as Lemina makes way for Neves in midfield.
Having taken a blow on the ankle when winning Leicester's penalty, Vardy has been withdrawn at half-time. Dewsbury-Hall will be his replacement for the second half.
Wolves kick off, and we are back under way at the King Power Stadium!
45' +5
HALF-TIME: LEICESTER CITY 1-1 WOLVES
45' +2
Invited to strike by a Leicester defence reluctant to close him down, Sarabia lets fly with a shot from 20 yards out, which rises steadily over the crossbar.
45'
Four minutes will be added on for stoppages at the end of this first half, with Wolves trying to gain a foothold in the Leicester half. Since conceding a goal on the break, their dominance has been diluted.
42'
Toti Gomes gets yellow.
For hauling back Tielemans with a clear pull of the jersey, Toti becomes the second Wolves player to be booked.
41'
The home crowd is in uproar as Vardy is penalised for challenge on Gomes in midfield, and Wolves can kill a few seconds to take the sting out of Leicester's attacking momentum.
39'
An aerial challenge between Costa and Soyuncu leaves the latter down on the deck clutching his face, but when the referee shows little interest in booking the Wolves striker, the Leicester defender is soon able to recover.
37'
Penalty goal scored by K. Ịheanachọ for Leicester City!
LEICESTER LEVEL! Ice-cool under pressure, Iheanacho steps up to the penalty and waits for Sa to move before slotting the ball into the bottom-left corner! It's now 1-1 at the King Power Stadium - game on!
34'
José Sá gets yellow.
Needlessly, Sa charges out of his six-yard box and slides into Vardy, conceding a penalty and earning himself a yellow card.
32'
Slumping to the turf in frustration, Cunha is aghast as his low throughball for Nunes fails to meet its target and rolls behind for a Leicester goal-kick.
30'
Kristansen has to turn the ball behind to stop Semedo getting the ball into the box from the right, and there are then some visible disagreements between the Leicester defenders - they are on the ropes right now.
28'
Showing the strain, Leicester are split open again, as Sarabia strides through the centre before mishitting his throughball for Costa and sending it trundling out of play.
26'
JUST WIDE! Wolves continue to apply pressure in search of a second goal, as following a corner the ball breaks to Dawson on the edge of Leicester's area. Unlike his previous effort, the defender hammers it on target, but a late deflection off Faes takes the ball narrowly wide of the left-hand post!
24'
Alert to the danger, Faes makes a last-ditch block to deny Cunha's goalbound shot from close range, after Nunes finds his team-mate with a smart reverse pass.
20'
From the right, Sarabia sends over a deep cross which evades everyone in the box and ends up skipping straight out of play for a Leicester goal kick. That's a wasted chance to trouble Iversen with a sharper delivery.
18'
Toti drives his shoulder into Tete near the corner flag, yet still seems incredulous when the referee awards Leicester a free-kick. However, the hosts don't make anything of the subsquent set-piece opportunity, which ends up in the gloves of Sa.
16'
Following some treatment, Daka is cleared to continue, and the game resumes with Leicester trying to build from the back.
13'
Matheus Cunha has scored a goal for Wolverhampton Wanderers! Assist by M. Lemina.
After dispossessing Tielemans outside the Leicester box, Lemina then plays in Cunha to fire home Wolves' first goal of the game.
WOLVES LEAD! Calamitous defending from the Foxes lets Wolves in for the opener! Tielemans is stripped of the ball deep in midfield by Lemina, then Cunha steps forward and lashes the ball into the bottom-left corner from 10 yards out! It's 1-0 to the visitors!
10'
A scuffed finish from the left edge of the area sees Sarabia send the ball wide of the near post without troubling Iversen in the Leicester City goal.
7'
Tielemans topples Costa out on the touchline, and Wolves have the chance to swing a cross into the box. Following Sarabia's set-piece delivery, the ball finally breaks to Dawson near the penalty spot, but the defender gets underneath his shot and sends it soaring well over the crossbar.
5'
Buoyed by their near-breakthrough earlier on, Leicester continue to press forward, but they ultimately lose possession when Daka plays a loose ball on the edge of the Wolves area.
1'
The home side kick off, and we are under way in Leicester!
Hello and welcome to live coverage of today's Premier League clash between Leicester City and Wolves at the King Power Stadium!
Aiming to avoid going 10 straight Premier League matches without a win, Leicester City kick off today's game sitting 19th in the table and two points shy of safety. Dean Smith's first game in charge ended in defeat last week, as his side were beaten 3-1 at Manchester City - their 20th league loss of the season. Yet to keep a clean sheet since the World Cup break, the Foxes have done so in six of their last seven meetings with Wolves, including a 4-0 win at Molineux in October's reverse fixture; however, they have recently lost each of their last five home fixtures in all competitions.
Today, Wolves will aim to claim three top-fight wins in a row for the first time in over a year, following back-to-back home victories against Chelsea and Brentford. Those results have helped Julen Lopetegui's men climb to 13th in the Premier League table and seven points clear of the relegation zone. The West Midlands side have, though, won on just one of their last 25 league visits to Leicester and have failed to score in all five away encounters with the Foxes in the Premier League era.
LEICESTER CITY (4-2-3-1): Daniel Iversen; Timothy Castagne, Caglar Soyuncu, Wout Faes, Victor Kristansen; Boubakary Soumare, Youri Tielemans; Mateus Tete, Kelechi Iheanacho, Patson Daka; Jamie Vardy.
SUBS: Danny Ward, Luke Thomas, Nampalys Mendy, Wanya Marcal-Madivadua, Dennis Praet, Daniel Amartey, Harry Souttar, Wilfred Ndidi, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
WOLVES (4-4-2): Jose Sa; Nelson Semedo, Craig Dawson, Max Kilman, Tote Gomes; Matheus Nunes, Joao Gomes, Mario Lemina, Pablo Sarabia; Matheus Cunha, Diego Costa.
SUBS: Daniel Bentley, Nathan Collins, Ruben Neves, Daniel Podence, Adama Traore, Hwang Hee-Chan, Joao Moutinho, Pedro Neto, Hugo Bueno.
The players are out on the pitch, and kick-off at the King Power Stadium is now just moments away!
Two crunch clashes in the coming week could effectively decide Leicester's Premier League fate, as they meet both Everton and Leeds United; meanwhile, Wolves' pursuit of the points needed to guarantee safety takes them to Crystal Palace on Tuesday.
That's all from Leicester today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
