AliousWolves Eye Historic Feat as Pereira Hunts Sixth Straight Win and 67-Year Record vs Leicester
Wolves fans are riding a wave of euphoria as their team, revitalized under Vitor Pereira, continues to defy expectations. The dramatic 1-0 win over Manchester United marked their fifth consecutive victory and pushed them up to 15th in the Premier League table—a position few thought possible when Pereira took over from Gary O’Neil in December.
Now, with confidence surging and the team playing inspired football, Wolves have their sights set on another significant achievement this weekend: matching a 67-year-old club record. As they prepare to face Leicester City at Molineux, there’s more on the line than just three points.
**Wolves on Cusp of Landmark League Double**
Not since the 1957-58 season have Wolves completed a league double over Leicester, but that could change on Saturday. When the two sides last met, Pereira made a thunderous debut by overseeing a 3-0 rout of the Foxes. That victory marked the start of Wolves’ resurgence—and their opponents’ spiral.
Leicester have endured a nightmare season and were officially relegated following their defeat to Liverpool. The Midlands club is winless in its last 12 games and, with Jamie Vardy set to bid farewell, emotions will be high. Still, Wolves look poised to exploit that vulnerability.
**Momentum with Molineux Men**
While recent meetings between the clubs have slightly leaned in Leicester’s favor—with Wolves winless in seven of the last nine—Pereira’s red-hot side enters the contest as firm favorites. Historically, Wolves still edge the head-to-head record with 45 wins to Leicester’s 42.
For Pereira, Saturday offers more than just another step toward a strong season finish. It’s a chance to carve his name into club folklore by tying a record six decades in the making, further cementing his impact on Wolves’ remarkable turnaround.
