Wolves are on the road once more on Saturday, travelling to Leeds United, and below are all the main pre-match talking points.
1 | Roll Call
Wolves will do without the suspended Yerson Mosquera for the next two games after he picked up his tenth yellow card of the season last Friday. Matt Doherty has trained this week and is pushing for a return to fitness, with Rob Edwards saying he’s “weighing up the risk” around the Irishman's involvement. Toti is also an option, having been an unused substitute at West Ham United. Goalkeeper Sam Johnstone remains out.
Daniel Farke will select from the same group of Leeds players which won at Manchester United on Monday. That means Joe Rodon, Dan James and Anton Stach will not be available. Rodon is out with an ankle ligament injury, while James is currently suffering with an adductor strain. Lieke Rodon, Stach also has an ankle injury he picked up against West Ham United in the Emirates FA Cup at the start of the month and isn’t expected back until May.

3 | Journey to Saturday
Wolves’ heavy defeat to West Ham felt a step backwards, but Rob Edwards was quick to highlight how the scoreline didn’t reflect the match, with the Old Gold the better side in the opening half. Instead, the head coach will be pointing to a battling draw at Brentford prior to the break, where Adam Armstrong and Tolu Arokodare netted. For much of the calendar year Wolves have been much improved, with Aston Villa and Liverpool beaten at Molineux in recent months. An away win in the Premier League has remained out of reach until now, however.
Leeds’ win at Old Trafford, courtesy of a first half brace from Noah Okafor, was a big one in their battle to avoid the drop. The victory moved Farke’s side six points clear of the relegation zone with six matches left to play. Leeds are in a good place at the minute, having beaten West Ham on penalties to secure a first FA Cup semi-final place since 1987. At Elland Road, Leeds are winless in three in the Premier League, having drawn 0-0 with Brentford last time out and narrowly losing 1-0 to Manchester City and Sunderland.
4 | Winning in West Yorkshire
Wolves continued their march towards the Premier League with a comprehensive victory at Elland Road back in the March of the 2017/18 season.
After three matches without a win, Nuno Espirito Santo’s players regrouped and two Barry Douglas corners led to the opening two goals from Romain Saiss and Willy Boly.
Diogo Jota then struck the crossbar before Benik Afobe lobbed goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell from distance to net his first goal since returning to the club.
Leeds | Peacock-Farrell, Cooper (Pennington 36), Dallas, Jansson, Berardi, Forshaw, Anita, Saiz, Phillips, Lasogga (Ekuban 73), Sacko (Hernandez 45).
Wolves | Ruddy, Doherty, Batth, Coady, Boly, Douglas, Saiss, N’Diaye, Cavaleiro (Gibbs-White 86), Jota (Costa 75), Bonatini (Afobe 70).
