Arsenal teenager Bukayo Saka has provided 11 assists across competitions this season. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had seven shots against Brighton.

He had last scored in February 2018. Leicester full-back Ben Chilwell has notched two goals in his past five EPL appearances. The Foxes have managed just four wins in their past 14 Premier League games.

Wolves are unbeaten in six league matches and have registered five clean sheets. Jimenez and Adama Traore have combined for nine league goals this season.

Leicester gained one point to maintain an eight-point gap (54) over fifth-placed Manchester United (46). Wolves are in level with United on points after a 2-0 win. They are very much in the race for Champions League qualification. Palace will be eyeing a place in Europe after beating Bournemouth 2-0. Watford are 16th and are above West Ham and Bournemouth.
