Wolves are still searching for their first point of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign as they welcome newly-promoted Leeds to Molineux on Saturday afternoon. Indeed, the Wanderers are the only team in the division to lose all of their opening four league games.
Meanwhile, the Whites were cruelly denied a point at Fulham last time out after a bizarre own goal gave the Cottagers all three points in stoppage time. Nonetheless, their performance should at least give them some form of encouragement in terms of getting a positive result.

Key stats

- Leeds are winless in four games in total in all competitions.
- Four of the last five H2Hs have seen both teams score.
Correct score prediction: Wolves 1-1 Leeds
Both teams are very low on confidence heading into this clash, so we are expecting a low-scoring affair. They may settle for a point each having lost in the league last time out.

Leeds preview: James and Gnonto major doubts
Leeds have been dealt a double injury blow as electric wingers Dan James and Willy Gnonto are major doubts with injury. Karl Darlow is also expected to continue in between the sticks in place of the injured Lucas Perri.
Predicted lineup: Darlow (GK); Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Gudmundsson; Stach, Ampadu, Longstaff; Aaronsen, Calvert-Lewin & Okafor

Player to watch: Hwang Hee-Chan
In the absence of key forward Strand Larsen, the onus will be on Hwang Hee-Chan to try and step up and get the goals that Wolves need to convert defeats into draws and wins. The South Korea international has come close in his previous two appearances for the Old Gold, and so will be hoping to finally strike against Leeds at Molineux.
