Leeds United vs Wolves – Match preview and team news | OneFootball

Leeds United welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Elland Road today following a season-defining victory at Old Trafford.

The Whites secured a famous 2-1 win over Manchester United on Monday night. Noah Okafor was the hero, netting a brace to end a six-game winless run. This result moved Daniel Farke’s side six points clear of the Premier League relegation zone. They now aim to record back-to-back top-flight wins for the first time this season.

Meanwhile, Wolves arrive in West Yorkshire facing a grim battle for their Premier League survival. The Old Gold have occupied the bottom of the table for 29 consecutive gameweeks. Relegation could be officially confirmed this weekend if results elsewhere go against them. Manager Rob Edwards needs a victory to postpone an inevitable return to the Championship. Consequently, Wolves must find a clinical edge they have lacked all season.

Leeds United vs Wolves – Match preview and team news

Team news

Leeds United

Daniel Farke will select from the same group that triumphed at Manchester United. Noah Okafor is in peak form, scoring four goals in his last four appearances. However, Joe Rodon, Daniel James, and Anton Stach remain unavailable due to injuries. Gabriel Gudmundsson is fully fit and expected to start today. Karl Darlow starts in goal as the Whites seek a vital clean sheet.

Wolves

The visitors are without the suspended Yerson Mosquera after he collected ten yellow cards. Sam Johnstone remains sidelined, meaning José Sá will start between the posts. Matt Doherty is pushing for a return and has trained well this week. Toti starts in defence for Rob Edwards after being an unused substitute recently. Accordingly, the Midlands side will look to tighten a leaky defensive line.

Form

Leeds United

The Whites are riding high after their first top-flight win at Old Trafford in 45 years. They have won their last four Premier League meetings against the Old Gold. However, they have failed to score in four of their last five home matches. A fourth goalless home game today would match a club record set in 1982. Farke will hope the recent away victory sparks a new home scoring streak.

Wolves

Wolves have endured a dismal season, losing 21 of their 32 league fixtures. They have the weakest attack in the division, scoring only 24 goals. Manager Rob Edwards currently has the lowest win percentage of any seasoned Premier League boss. Furthermore, the Midlands side has conceded exactly two goals per game under his leadership. They must find a minor miracle today to keep their survival hopes alive.

Predicted lineups

Leeds United Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Darlow; Justin, Bijol, Struijk; Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson; Aaronson, Okafor; Calvert-Lewin

Wolves Predicted XI (3-5-1-1): Sa; S. Bueno, Krejci, Toti; Tchatchoua, J. Gomes, Andre, A. Gomes, H. Bueno; Mane; Armstrong
