Leeds United face a massive clash in the context of their relegation battle as they travel to fellow relegation-threatened side Wolves on Saturday, looking for their second win under new boss Javi Gracia.
The Yorkshire side currently sit 19th in the Premier League, and have lost against Chelsea and Brighton in recent weeks. However, they are by no means out of the survival hunt, with Wolves six places ahead of the Elland Road outfit but just four points behind Julen Lopetegui’s outfit, and three points against the midlands outfit could see them end the weekend as high as 14th should other results go in their favour.
Looking to improve their recent form, Gracia’s side are no strangers to relegation scraps, having survived on the final day last season. They will be hoping to avoid such drama again this season, and three points could go a long way to helping that.
Here’s how we expect Leeds to line up, and the latest team news from Elland Road.
