Joe Rodon has returned to the Leeds United squad earlier than expected, the defender sitting on the bench for today's clash against Wolves. He had expected to be out until May with an ankle injury but has made a speedy return.
Daniel Farke otherwise keeps the same team that secured Monday night's 2-1 victory at Manchester United. Old Trafford hero Noah Okafor starts just behind Dominic Calvert-Lewin alongside Brenden Aaronson a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Okafor has scored four goals in as many Premier League games while Calvert-Lewin has not scored in six league matches albeit did net against West Ham in the FA Cup and played a crucial role in Monday's win.
There was concern over Ao Tanaka after full-time against Manchester United, with midfielder seen hobbling on the pitch. However, this was simply due to cramp and he starts a third straight game for Leeds, alongside captain Ethan Ampadu.
