Wolves vs Leeds United – Match Preview and Team News | OneFootball

A crucial Premier League encounter takes place at Molineux on Saturday as two struggling sides, Wolves and Leeds United, clash in a vital match.

The fixture pits a rock-bottom Wolves side, who have lost their opening four games for the first time in their history, against a Leeds team that has failed to score in their last three league outings.

With both managers desperate for a result, the game represents a huge opportunity to kickstart their respective seasons.

Wolves vs Leeds United – Match Preview and Team News

Team News

Wolves

Vítor Pereira’s main concern is the fitness of key striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, who faces a late test on an Achilles injury that has kept him out of the last two league games. Enso Gonzalez is the club’s only long-term absentee. If Strand Larsen is unavailable, Hwang Hee-chan and Jhon Arias will likely lead the line. New signing Tolu Arokodare offers an alternate option.

Leeds United

Daniel Farke is still without his first-choice goalkeeper, Lucas Perri, meaning Karl Darlow will continue in goal. However, the manager has been boosted by the news that both Joel Piroe and Ao Tanaka could be fit enough to return to the squad, providing much-needed options.

Form

Wolves

Wolves have endured their worst-ever start to a league season, losing all four of their matches to sit bottom of the table. A defeat on Saturday would see them become only the sixth team in Premier League history to lose their opening five games. However, they have an excellent recent record against newly-promoted teams, winning their last four in a row.

Leeds United

The visitors are in the midst of a worrying goal drought, having failed to score in their last three Premier League games. Their away form is a major concern, having lost 11 of their last 12 league matches on the road. Despite their attacking struggles, Leeds have a strong recent record against Wolves, winning the last three encounters.

Predicted Lineups

Wolves predicted XI: Johnstone; Agbadou, Mosquera, T Gomes; Bueno, Bellegarde, Andre, J Gomes, R Gomes; Hwang, Arias.

Leeds United predicted XI: Darlow; Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Longstaff, Ampadu, Stach; Aaronson, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin
