Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City go to battle in a six-pointer at the lower end of the table. Both clubs are in the bottom three and a win would lift either team out the relegation zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom four places in the Premier League are currently occupied exclusively by Midlands-based clubs with Aston Villa, Wolves, Leicester, and Nottingham Forest all in early danger of relegation from the English top flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wolves and Villa, both from West Midlands, are without full-time managers after Bruno Lage and Steven Gerrard were dismissed this month. Over in East Midlands, Forest recently rewarded Steve Cooper with a new long-term contract, meanwhile Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers is hanging onto his job by the skin of his teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lage was shown the door by the Wolves board following just a single win from eight league matches, while Gerrard was the latest managerial casualty after Villa went down to Fulham on Thursday evening. Aaron Danks was named caretaker at Villa Park while Steve Davis is in charge of Wolves in the interim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
