Leeds United have named their starting XI to face Wolves on Saturday.

The Whites are set to play host to Rob Edwards’ side in the Premier League in the first Elland Road clash since the March international break.

Daniel Farke will be hoping his side can pick up where they left off after securing a 2-1 victory away to Manchester United last time out.

By comparison, the Old Gold need a major turnaround after being battered 4-0 by West Ham in their trip to the London Stadium.

Leeds will be hopeful of three points against Wolves, especially with Aaronson keeping his place in the starting XI in LS11.

Leeds United starting XI named vs Wolves

The win at Old Trafford was historic, but it was overshadowed by a controversial red card for Lisandro Martinez.

The Yorkshire outfit didn’t care as they put in a shift, took their chances and sealed a much-needed three points against the Red Devils.

Fans wouldn’t blame Farke for picking a similar starting XI from that win, as the desire was clear for all to see.

That is exactly what he has done, as the German has made no changes to his side to face an outfit doomed to relegation from the Premier League.

Noah Okafor keeps his place after his brace last time out, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Aaronson also keep their place.

Leeds are now ready to face Wolves, and it will certainly be interesting to see how the forward line performs this time around.

Daniel Farke makes right decision with Brenden Aaronson

The America international has been a regular under the German this season, and that continued away at Old Trafford on Monday.

He grabbed an assist, created two chances and completed 88 per cent of his attempted passes, while also taking one shot against Man United.

That just proves the quality he can show against a side that is set to line up in the Champions League next season.

Now turning out against a side preparing for the Championship, he could prove to have a telling say in sealing all three points in LS11.

There may have been an expectation to see someone like Lukas Nmecha start against a more physical backline, but that call hasn’t been made.

Farke has made the call and will ultimately live and die by that sword in a clash that could all but seal a place in the Premier League next season for Leeds.
