Leeds preview: Impressive Leeds
Leeds pulled off a famous win last week as they defeated Manchester United by two goals to one at Old Trafford with a brace scored by Switzerland international attacker Noah Okafor in a game that Leeds should have racked up more of a score in the first-half.
Daniel Farke's tactical adjustment in the winter has helped Leeds become extremely difficult to beat with just five defeats in their last 21 matches across all competitions as they edge towards Premier League survival.
Wolves preview: Stubborn but going down
Prior to the March international break, Wolves showed signs of fight and improvement but Rob Edwards' midlanders are on the verge of having their relegation mathematically confirmed this month.
Wolves returned to action at the London Stadium last month and succumbed to a 4-0 annihilation at the hands of a fighting West Ham United due to a brace apiece for Konstantinos Mavropanos and Taty Castellanos.
Leeds team news: Nothing fresh
In his pre-match press conference, Leeds boss Daniel Farke has suggested that there could be players back in training before the game but, as it stands, no one has returned.
They don't have any other fresh injury concerns, though, and so defender Joe Rodon remains a doubt alongside midfielder Anton Stach and forward Daniel James.
Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Darlow; Justin, Bijol, Struijk; Bogle, Tanaka, Ampadu, Gudmundsson; Aaronson, Okafor; Calvert-Lewin
Unavailable:
Questionable: Rodon (Injured), Stach (Injured), James (Injured)
Wolves team news: Mosquera suspended
As they make the trip to Yorkshire, Wolves will now be without versatile defender Yerson Mosquera as he is missing through suspension after receiving his tenth yellow card of the campaign.
Sam Johnstone remains unavailable but fellow previous absentee Matty Doherty has returned to training after a 'niggle' but he may not be involved.
Predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Sa; Toti, S. Bueno, Krejci; Tchatchoua, Andre, J. Gomes, H. Bueno; Bellegarde, Mane; Armstrong
Unavailable: Johnstone (Injured), Mosquera (Suspended), Chiwome (Injured)
Questionable: Doherty (Fitness)
Leeds vs Wolves prediction
Wolves will be relegated if West Ham avoid defeat on Monday night against Crystal Palace after an and if Wolves have suffered defeat at Elland Road. Leeds can move nine points clear of the danger zone with just five games to go if they win, easing the pressure ahead of their upcoming FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea. Leeds have always made things awkward for themselves and so they should win but it might not be as straightforward as many would presume.
