LEEDS HAVE A MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB
When Wolves go one-nil up they usually see the game out. Only their recent blip at Arsenal saw them lose from a scoring first in the last 62 games they opened the scoring.

GOAL! WOLVES 1-0 LEEDS (JONNY)

THE END OF BAMFORD'S EVENING
He's tried to bring the ball down in front of goal after another long ball over the top from Leeds, but as he landed awkwardly he went straight down. He's been struggling for a while now, though.
He will be replaced, a big blow for the visitors.
20'
HALF A CHANCE FOR JAMES
Rodrigo dinks a ball in behind Coady for James, whose touch is heavy and Sa manages to get it clear.

NEVES RECEIVING TREATMENT
There's been a lengthy pause in play as Neves receives treatment after clashing with Mateusz Klich.
It looked like he landed awkwardly on his leg, but he's up and jogging off the pitch as he looks to rejoin the action.
15'
JIMINEZ GOES FOR THE SPECTACULAR!
But it's over the bar. Jonny whips in a great ball for the Mexican who attempts a bicycle kick, but despite getting a good connection, gets the direction all wrong as it sails high over the bar.
14'
MORE QUESTIONS ASKED BY LEEDS
It's been a bright start for the visitors. Dan James delivers a cross towards Bamford, but the cross is overhit.
11'
BAMFORD GOES CLOSE!
Neves loses the ball in the middle and Leeds take advantage of the loose ball. Bamford drives towards Coady and as he tries to steer the ball into the bottom right corner, gets it the wrong side of the post.
7'
BIG CHANCES AT BOTH ENDS!
What were we just saying?
Ait-Nouri does excellently to beat his man on the byline and pull a cross back for Podence, but he's too slow and dispossessed before he can get a shot away.
Leeds get the ball down the other end as quick as a flash only for Rodrigo to flash his own effort wide of the post.
4'
BRIGHT OPENING FEW MINUTES
Games involving Wolves have notoriously lacked goals, but so far it looks as though both teams are going to have a go!
2'
BOLY CATCHES BAMFORD
Both players were going for the ball but Boly just caught the Englishman in the air. It's nothing serious and Boly helps Bamford get to his feet.
1'
SA COLLECTS EARLY LEEDS THREAT
The ball was whipped into the penalty area towards Bamford but Sa managed to get to the ball first.

LEEDS AFTER FIRST MOLINEUX WIN SINCE 1973
Jesse Marsch guided Leeds to a huge win in their recent outing at Elland Road against relegation rivals Norwich City, with Joe Gelhardt scoring a 94th minute winner to cancel out Kenny McLean's last-minute equaliser.
A win tonight would lift them seven points clear of the drop-zone, whilst remaining still in 16th place ahead of Everton, who secured a crucial win last night and will have three games in hand on Leeds by the end of the evening.
This is a big one for the visitors!

WOLVES EYE TOP SIX
After a short stint as serious top four contenders - now five points off the Champions League spots - three points tonight would see Wolves leapfrog London pair Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham and move into the Europa League places.
