Leeds United are back in action in the Premier League as they welcome Wolves to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon.
Daniel Farke’s side picked up a huge result on Monday, as they beat Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford.
Noah Okafor scored a brace on the evening, with a header from Casemiro halving the visitors’ lead in the second half.
Though after bossing the encounter for large periods, the Whites held out for their first league victory at Old Trafford in over 40 years.
Now sitting six points clear of the bottom three, Leeds are looking to further pull away as they welcome bottom-of-the-league Wolves to West Yorkshire.

Leeds United’s Premier League record vs Wolves
The two sides would not meet for almost 20 years after the 2003-04 season, with Wolves having the ascendancy against Marcelo Bielsa’s side following the 2020 promotion.
But after that, the West Yorkshire outfit would start a memorable unbeaten run – including a last-gasp winner at Molineux in 2022, and the 3-1 win in the Midlands earlier this term.
Earlier this season, goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and wideman Okafor would secure all three points – the only away win this season before Monday’s triumph at Old Trafford.
Team news and predicted lineups
Heading into the weekend, Farke remains without midfielder Stach, with the star signing of the summer expected to return later this month.
With this in mind, Ao Tanaka should keep his place in midfield after his monstrous performance against Manchester United.
The Japanese international was substituted after going down in the second half on Monday, though if he is fit, he simply must start.
Joe Rodon and Dan James remain sidelined, with the Welsh duo suffering with ankle injuries.

On the Wolves front, Rob Edwards’ side are looking to bounce back from a 4-0 loss away at West Ham, while their relegation to the Championship remains all but a certainty.
Defender Yerson Mosquera is suspended for Saturday’s clash after accumulating too many yellow cards, while goalkeeper Sam Johnstone will miss the remainder of the season.
Matt Doherty continues on the sidelines, while young Paraguayan wideman Enso Gonzalez could return later this month.
Leeds predicted lineup: Darlow; Justin, Bijol, Struijk; Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson; Aaranson, Okafor; Calvert-Lewin
Wolves predicted lineup: Sa; Bueno, Toti, Krejci; Tchatchoua, Bellegarde, Andre, Gomes; Mane, Armstrong
We say: Leeds 3-1 Wolves
While the pressure is off Wolves given their precarious positioning in the standings, Leeds should be able to keep building the momentum after a remarkable result at Old Trafford.
Results elsewhere could confirm Wolves’ relegation to the Championship should they also lose at Elland Road, and based on the reverse fixture, the Whites are firm favourites as they welcome Edwards’ side.
