Daniel Farke’s Leeds made their charge for survival on Monday, stretching their advantage over the relegation places to six points with a shock 2-1 win at Man United.
The Whites were the better team from start to finish in that clash, and if they were more clinical, they could have won by an ever wider margin. Leeds are now unbeaten in their last three league matches, picking up a credible five points. However, they have failed to score in four of their last five at Elland Road.
But, the Whites have an excellent home record against teams starting the day at the bottom of the standings, winning nine of their last 12.

The official confirmation that Wolves will be playing in next season’s Championship is only likely a few days away, but the visitors will take confidence from a decent run of form, which has seen them avoid defeat in three of their last four.
However, last weekend’s 4-0 loss at West Ham was an extremely poor showing, with their season-long defensive issues reappearing.
Wolves’ issues have been apparent by the fact that they have been bottom of the standings for 29 rounds; the most since Sheffield United in 2020-21.
Team News:
Yerson Mosquera (Suspended), Matt Doherty (Other), Sam Johnstone (Shoulder)
Likely Line-Up:
(3-5-2): Sa (GK); Wolfe, S. Bueno, Krejci; Tchatchoua, Bellegarde, Andre, A. Gomes, H. Bueno; Hee-Chan, Armstrong
Leeds vs. Wolves Prop Pick
The defensive issues Wolves have mean that a big-scoring win for Leeds can’t be ruled out this weekend. American international Brenden Aaronson has enjoyed a productive campaign for the Whites, registering eight goal involvements in the EPL. His pace could unsettle the nervy Wolves backline on Saturday, and could ensure that he finds space in behind to add to his goal tally.

Leeds vs. Wolves Picks
