Wolves vs Leeds preview: Team news, expected lineups and prediction
Leeds United visit Wolves this Saturday in what is arguably their biggest game of the Premier League season so far.
Wolves have lost all four of their Premier League games and have emerged as a potential relegation candidate for this season.
Leeds, in their bid to avoid the drop, will be desperate to pick up points against teams expected to be around the drop zone.
Daniel Farke may be missing a few attacking options for the visit to Molineux.
That might be prove to be a blessing in disguise, though, as Leeds have underperformed in attack so far this season.

Team news
Lucas Perri is expected to remain absent through injury, meaning Karl Darlow will continue in goal.
Both Dan James and Willy Gnonto are expected to take late fitness tests before the game, although it’s not looking promising for either of them based on the latest speculation.
Wolves don’t have any new injury concerns after the latest defeat at Newcastle, and are expected to remain unchanged.
Their main man Jorgen Strand Larsen has missed the last two games through injury, and looks unlikely to recover in time to start this game.

Wolves vs Leeds predicted lineups
Wolves: Johnstone, Toti Gomes, Mosquera, Agbadou, Rodrigo Gomes, Krejci, Joao Gomes, Andre, Bueno, Hwang, Arokodare
Leeds: Darlow, Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson, Longstaff, Ampadu, Harrison, Stach, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin
Prediction: Wolves 1-1 Leeds
Wolves are the bookies’ favourites to pick up a win on Saturday, despite their pointless run in the Premier League thus far.
The Molineux club have also offered their manager Vitor Pereira a new contract.
It seems like no one is panicking in Wolverhampton yet, but that might change if Leeds pick up a result at the weekend. MOT Leeds News is backing them to do that.
The Whites might only have one goal in the Premier League this season, but Wolves have just two and have also fired blanks in three of their four league games. The absence of Strand Larsen is huge for them.
Provided Leeds can keep the hosts out early on, it will be a nervy game, and there’s no telling how Wolves will respond to that pressure.
