What do I need to know if I'm coming?

Leicester City have launched a new Supporter Code of Conduct to support COVID-19 safety, ahead of Saturday’s 2021/22 Premier League opener against Wolves.

The safety of everyone attending fixtures at King Power Stadium is of the utmost importance to Leicester City Football Club and the new Supporter Code of Conduct has been introduced to help create as safe an environment as possible. The Supporter Code of Conduct is available HERE and supporters are asked to familiarise themselves with it before attending the stadium.

To minimise the risk of COVID-19 transmission and to keep each other as safe as possible, the Club’s advice to its supporters is to take a lateral flow test at home before each fixture they plan to attend, as well as wearing face-coverings when in any indoor areas in the stadium.

A full list of information and guidance for matchdays on Filbert Way can be found HERE.

What happened last season against Wolves?

A 15th-minute penalty from Jamie Vardy was the difference between the two sides when Wolves last visited King Power Stadium on 8 November, 2020, which was a sixth win in all competitions for the Foxes.

The reverse Premier League fixture on 7 February, 2021, meanwhile, ended in a goalless draw at Molineux Stadium, which was the last time the teams met in a competitive match.
