WOLVERHAMPTON can re-claim top spot in the Elite League table if they can complete the double over bottom club Leicester at Beaumont Park on Saturday.
The Monmore men are chasing their third away win of the season and are unchanged from Monday’s clash between the sides, with Ashley Morris continuing as reserve with Max Clegg unavailable due to World Under-21 duty.
Leicester, meanwhile, give a home debut to Davey Watt having suffered the frustration of back-to-back draws on their own circuit with the concession of Heat 15 5-1s on both occasions.
Lions boss Norrie Allan said: “Although our home form has improved we still have some way to go before I will be happy with our performances.
“Twice in the last two matches at Beaumont Park we have let slip a lead in the very last race which resulted in King’s Lynn and Poole snatching a draw. All the hard work beforehand is virtually wasted in the final four laps of the meeting, so that is something we need to work on.”
Wolves manager Peter Adams said: “It was a good win for us on Monday, but they'll be a different proposition at home on Saturday night for sure.
“First and foremost we need to try and get off to a good start, then cling onto the coat tails if we can to put us in a position to catch them at the finish.
"We all know gating is vital at Leicester, and although they've made some track alterations we'll need to be trapping well if we are to get the right result.”
Leicester: 1. Patrick Hougaard, 2. Josh Auty, 3. Aaron Summers, 4. Szymon Wozniak, 5. Davey Watt, 6. Nicolai Klindt and 7. Paul Starke
Wolverhampton: 1. Freddie Lindgren, 2. Kyle Howarth, 3. Jacob Thorssell, 4. Sam Masters, 5. Joonas Kylmakorpi, 6. Mikkel Bech and 7. Ashley Morris
