Wolves 0-0 Leicester City: Visitors close the gap on Manchester United to two points after being held in goalless draw at Molineux

The points were shared in a goalless draw on Sunday as Brendan Rodgers’ high-flying Leicester were held by a revitalised Wolves side.

Wolves were winless in eight before their 2-1 victory over nine-man Arsenal on Tuesday night after initially going 1-0 down.

Leander Dendoncker moved to centre back alongside Max Kilman and Conor Coady after Willy Boly’s recent hamstring injury, while Jonny Oto returned from a long-term injury for his first game since August.

Kelechi Iheanacho retained his starting place despite the return of Jamie Vardy who made the bench.

Hamza Choudhury also kept his place after his proposed loan move to Newcastle fell through last week.

The first chance of the game fell to Adama Traore after a brilliant piece of play from Wolves winger Pedro Neto who skinned Johnny Evans and cut the ball back to Traore, whose shot was blocked brilliantly by a sliding James Justin.

Leicester’s first proper chance fell to Iheanacho after James Maddison fired the ball across the six-yard line, unfortunately the ball was played behind the Nigerian who narrowly missed the chance to put Leicester in front.

Chaos in the Wolves penalty box just after the half-hour mark as Harvey Barnes, an ever-present threat down the Foxes left, carried the ball into the box before laying it off to Iheanacho.

The striker’s shot was blocked by Kilman and Coady, who were quick to close down the strike, before two further blocks from Johnny after Maddison’s attempts to prod home the loose ball.

It was a lively start to the second half for the hosts with Traore causing havoc down the right-hand side – the Spanish international had the beating of Leicester full back Justin every time he made a forward run.

A great chance for Barnes midway through the second-half with his shot seemingly destined for the bottom corner, if it wasn’t for a superb last-ditch block from Kilman.

The best chance of the game fell to Wolves substitute Fabio Silva after the ball broke to him just yards from goal. The Portuguese youngster should have chipped Kasper Schmeichel but instead tried to slot it round the Danish keeper, who saved excellently with an out stretched boot.

There was a great opportunity in the 90^th minute for the fit-again Jamie Vardy but his header narrowly missed the target after Marc Albrighton’s pinpoint cross.

It is frustrating result for both teams as a win for Rodgers’ side would have sent the Foxes second just two points off the top, while a Wolves victory would have moved them to within touching distance of the top half of the table.
