THE LOWDOWN

WOLVES

  • Wolves made it two straight Premier League wins and two straight Premier League clean sheets last Sunday after beating Everton 0-1 thanks to a goal from captain Conor Coady, which saw them jump above Tottenham into seventh-place.
  • With Hee-Chan Hwang doubtful due to a back problem, Bruno Lage may be forced into a change to his starting line-up with Daniel Podence a candidate to come into the team.

LEEDS UTD

  • Leeds United finally secured three points last weekend and what a vital three points it was against bottom-placed Norwich, as 19-year-old Joe Gelhardt sent Elland Road into raptures with a last-gasp winner for new head coach Jesse Marsch.
  • Rodrigo also found the net against Norwich, but suffered an injury against the Canaries and could miss out here, but Marsch will be hoping the Spaniard will be passed fit alongside the likes of Liam Cooper and Kalvin Phillips.

THE TEAM NEWS

WOLVES

PREDICTED XI (3-5-2): Sa; Kilman, Coady, Saiss; Jonny, Dendoncker, Never, Moutinho, Marcal; Podence, Jimenez

UNAVAILABLE: Hoever (Injured), Neto (Injured), Semedo (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Hwang (Injured)

LEEDS UTD

PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Meslier; Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Dallas; Klich, Forshaw; James, Raphinha, Harrison; Bamford

UNAVAILABLE: Firpo (Injured), Hjelde (Injured), Roberts (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Bate (Injured), Cooper (Fitness), Gelhardt (Injured), Phillips (Fitness), Rodrigo (Injured), Shackleton (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

Leeds Utd will travel to Molineux in the belief that they can get something following their win over Norwich. However, Wolves will provide far sterner opposition and are on a high themselves after victory at Goodison Park. Defence has been Leeds’ kryptonite across the season so far, but they have tightened up under Marsch and won’t prove as easy to break down as they might have been a few weeks back. The solidarity of Wolves’ backline is well known and it would be no surprise if goals were hard to come by here with the visitors fighting for their lives to stay out of the relegation places. Therefore, consider backing under 2.5 goals scored here.

Tip: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
