Team news

Leeds
Kalvin Phillips is healthy but this weekend's game will come too soon for him while Luke Ayling, Patrick Bamford, Robin Koch and Junior Firpo are sidelined. Raphinha, however, could make a return.

Wolves
Jonny, Pedro Neto, Hugo Bueno and Yerson Mosquera are expected to miss out but Francisco Trincao has returned to training.

Match preview

A simple glance at the Premier League form table might make punters think they have Leeds United's weekend clash with Wolves worked out but the game at Elland Road could be tighter than expected.

Wolves pulled off one of the most chaotic comebacks in Premier League history when beating Aston Villa 3-2 last week, having trailed 2-0 until the 80th minute.

That made it four wins in five games for Bruno Lage's men, while Leeds have recorded only one league win this term.

But the Yorkshire outfit have been without crucial players in recent weeks and could welcome back zippy forward Raphinha to the starting lineup.

That could give them a tremendous boost on home soil and they can take a point off the rampant visitors.

Wolves have been putting points on the board but their performances have not been entirely convincing - their wins over Southampton and Newcastle were both gritty wins by single-goal margins - and Leeds can put an end to their winning run.

Key stat

Leeds lost only six of their 19 Premier League home fixtures last season.
