Leeds United aims for back-to-back Premier League victories against Wolves after a historic win over Manchester United. They currently sit six points clear of the relegation zone with six matches left in the season.
Leeds United XI vs Wolves – Predicted lineup and team news
Leeds United return to Elland Road today, aiming to build on their sensational victory at Old Trafford.
Daniel Farke’s side produced a historic performance to beat Manchester United 2-1 on Monday night. That result ended a six-game winless run and boosted their survival hopes significantly. Leeds now sit six points clear of the bottom three with six matches remaining. A win today would secure back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time this season.
The Whites have enjoyed great success against Wolves recently, winning their last four top-flight meetings. Farke has urged his players to stay calm and stick to the plan during “crunch time.” Despite recent away success, Leeds have struggled to find the net at Elland Road lately. They have failed to score in four of their last five home league games. As a result, the home support will be vital in breaking that goalless streak.
Daniel Farke has confirmed he will choose from the same group that won at Old Trafford. This means key defensive figure Joe Rodon remains out with an ankle ligament injury. Anton Stach is also sidelined with an ankle problem and is not expected back until May. Daniel James continues to suffer with an adductor strain and will miss the clash.

Noah Okafor is currently the most clinical player in the Leeds squad. The Swiss forward has scored four goals in his last four league appearances. Only two Swiss players have ever scored more Premier League goals in a single campaign. Gabriel Gudmundsson is available for selection after coming through the Manchester United game unscathed. Karl Darlow will start in goal this afternoon as the primary defensive anchor.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the line as he looks to exploit the Wolves defence. He has made 282 off-ball runs in behind so far this season. This accounts for over half of his total attacking runs in the competition. James Justin and Pascal Struijk will anchor a backline that must remain focused today. Leeds have won nine of their last 12 home games against teams starting at the bottom.
The tactical setup should allow Brenden Aaronson and Noah Okafor to operate just behind the striker. Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka will look to control the midfield battle from the start. Farke’s side knows that three points today would take them to the brink of safety. Accordingly, the players will be determined to maintain the intensity shown at Old Trafford. The Whites must avoid a fourth consecutive home league match without scoring a goal.
Leeds United Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Darlow; Justin, Bijol, Struijk; Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson; Aaronson, Okafor; Calvert-Lewin
The Premier League fixture at Elland Road is scheduled to begin today at 15:00 BST.
