Leeds United haven’t won any of their last five league games with Tim Robinson as referee, but he will be the man in the middle against Wolves.

Everyone connected with Leeds is still on cloud nine after beating Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford on Monday night.

Indeed, Daniel Farke and all his players were superb that night, and took home three points from the Theatre of Dreams that will be talked about for many, many years to come.

However, the focus must now shift to Leeds’ next task at hand, and that comes on Saturday with a must-win game at Elland Road.

Leeds take on Wolves in a 3pm kick-off this Saturday, with the Whites knowing that three points against the Premier League’s bottom side would pretty much guarantee their top-flight status for 2026-27.

What is Leeds United’s record with Tim Robinson as referee?

Leeds beat Wolves 3-1 in this season’s reverse fixture at Molineux back in September last year, with Anthony Taylor the referee in charge that day.

However, Taylor isn’t going to be the man in the middle at Elland Road this weekend, with that responsibility instead falling to Robinson.

Leeds are of course the clear favourites to win the game against Wolves, and anything less would be a major disappointment, especially in front of a home crowd.

But, for the superstitious among those connected with Leeds, this appointment of Robinson isn’t a good omen for three points.

As detailed via Transfermarkt, Leeds are winless in their last five league games that Robinson has taken charge of, dating back to a 1-0 defeat to Birmingham City on matchday two of the 2023-24 Championship season.

His most recent Leeds game that he refereed was the 2-0 loss to Burnley earlier this season, with the other three games in this time period ending up in draws to QPR and Sunderland twice respectively.

Overall, Robinson has refereed Leeds matches 20 times in his career, with seven of those ending in Whites wins, with six draws and seven defeats.

What is Robinson’s record refereeing Wolves?

So, he may not be a particularly good luck charm for Leeds, but does his Wolves record tell a similar story?

Well, sort of. Indeed, Wolves have lost three of their last four games with Robinson in charge, with their most recent game with him being the 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest on matchday 26 this season.

However, the Bognor Regis-born referee has taken 15 Wanderers games in his career, with Wolves winning eight of those, losing four and drawing three.

There was even a point between March 2018 and February 2024 where Wolves won every single game he refereed, which amounted to five victories over Chelsea, Tottenham twice, Derby and Leeds respectively.

Overall then, Wolves have been largely successful when Robinson has been the man in the middle, so they might just be feeling a little more confident of taking a result with them from Elland Road this weekend.
