Match preview
Leeds, under Daniel Farke, come into this clash riding high after a sensational 2-1 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford, propelling them to 15th place with 36 points. The hero of that night was Noah Okafor, who netted a brace. Despite the success, Leeds are dealing with serious injury woes: key holding midfielder Anton Stach and central defender Joe Rodon are both out with ankle injuries. Daniel James is also unavailable. Farke will have to reshuffle his back line, offering the visitors a glimmer of hope.
Wolves are enduring one of the worst seasons in their history. Rob Edwards' arrival in the dugout has yet to bring stability, but fans were at least buoyed by the return of Crysencio Summerville in the last round. For Summerville, this match will be special—a return to Elland Road, where he was once a fan favorite. However, the team's overall form is grim: 21 defeats in 32 matches and the league's weakest attack (just 24 goals scored). The absence of first-choice keeper Sam Johnstone and the suspension of Yerson Mosquera only add to their troubles.
Leeds are full of confidence right now, and the home support should help offset the loss of Stach and Rodon. Wolves look doomed, and while Summerville’s return brings some creative spark, the defensive gaps remain wide open.
Probable lineups
Leeds: Perri — Bogle, Bornauw, Bijol, Justin — Ampadu, Gruev — Gnonto, Piroe, Okafor — Calvert-Lewin
Wolves: Bentley — Lima, Toti, Moller Wolfe — Mane, Andre, Joao Gomes, Ait-Nouri — Summerville, Hwang — Arokodare
Match facts and head-to-head
- Leeds have won four of their last five meetings, with Wolves claiming one victory
- Leeds are unbeaten in five matches: three wins and two draws, with three clean sheets
- Wolves have won two of their last seven games, losing three
Prediction
I expect a low-scoring affair: Wolves continue to struggle in attack, while Leeds have looked solid lately, rarely allowing clear-cut chances. My prediction: under 2.5 goals at 1.9
