    Wolverhampton Wanderers v Leeds Utd
    Saturday 20th September@15:00 Molineux


    Leeds United head to down to Molineux on Saturday with a clear objective: to create chances in the final third, and find the back of the net - something they haven't achieved in open play so far this season. Stats show they have averaged two shots on target per game, but have hope, as they face a Wolves side rooted to the bottom of the Premier League, without a point.

    Willy Gnonto has been ruled out with a calf strain, while Dan James departed Fulham’s 1‑0 defeat clutching a muscle problem that will keep him on the sidelines for the next few games. Without a natural right winger, the gaffer may move Noah Okafor across, handing Jack Harrison his first league start of the season on the left flank, or opt for midfield back-up in the form of Brenden Aaronsson - like he did last week at Fulham.

    Compounding the woes is the unavailability of first‑choice goalkeeper Lucas Perri, who is nursing a quad injury; opening the door for Carl Darlow once again. Ao Tanaka – who was an unused substitute at Craven Cottage – and Dutch forward Joel Piroe have been named as possible starters. Piroe’s omission from the Fulham matchday squad, when Farke opted to give Dominic Calvert‑Lewin his inaugural Premier League start, underscores the manager’s desperation to inject fresh potency up front.

    Leeds have amassed four points from four fixtures, a record that will be swallowed whole if they fail to secure at least a point at Wolves. The Midlands outfit, sit at the bottom of the Premier League without a single point, and their own morale will be fragile. A win for Leeds would not only widen the gap between themselves and the bottom three, but also provide a rare boost of confidence for a squad that has struggled for creativity.

    As for Wolves, Javi Pereira will once again be without star striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, who remains sidelined by a lingering Achilles issue. Experienced shot stopper José Sa could return between the sticks after recoving from illness. Dutch centre-back Ki‑Jana Hoever has been out for several weeks with a muscle injury, and may have to settle for a place on the bench. Hugo Bueno impressed at right wing‑back, yet newly signed Jackson Tchatchoua is already in contention for a starting berth.

    Very unhappy about the points tally so far, however i think we will take all 3 against Wolves, and come January they know what quality is required, so go out and buy what will keep the supporters happy and don't penny pinch. Otherwise, it will be a drop down again and no supporters want that scenario
