Final injury and team news has been provided for Leeds United’s huge Premier League visit of Wolves - for which three players are now definitely out with four others doubtful but four more back.
Leeds were looking at a big list of players either out or doubtful ahead of Monday night’s clash against fierce rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford but that didn’t stop Daniel Farke’s men from recording a brilliant 2-1 success for a first league win at the ground for 45 years.
Wolves, meanwhile, had been in action on the Friday night as they took on United’s key relegation rivals West Ham at the London Stadium, Rob Edwards’ side arriving on a good run of recent form despite their position at the bottom of the table.
Wolves, though, suffered their joint heaviest defeat of the season as the Irons eventually recorded a 4-0 victory in which the Molineux outfit were dealt another key man blow in the match itself.
Both managers have now held their pre-match press conferences ahead of Saturday’s 3pm kick-off at Elland Road and with the final injury and team news delivered, here we run through the state of play encompassing both sides.
