Leeds are looking to win four successive league games against Wolves for the first time since 1971, having been winless in six encounters beforehand, five of which produced Wolves win.
Wolves vs Leeds preview
It may still be September, but this has the feel of an early-season relegation six-pointer. For the first time in their entire history, Wolverhampton Wanderers have started a season with four straight league defeats. Last weekend, Vítor Pereira's team were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle at St James' Park, following on from loses at the hands of Manchester City, Bournemouth and then Everton.
Last season, Wolves failed to win any of their first ten matches, losing seven of the first eight, form that ultimately saw Gary O'Neil sacked just before Christmas. A similar fate could soon bestow Pereira if he doesn't stop the rot soon, considering they'll face Spurs and then Brighton after this one.
Thus, could Leeds United claim three precious points in the Black Country? They announced their Premier League return in style by beating Everton 1-0 on the opening Monday night of the season but, since then, have not had very much to cheer. Daniel Farke's team were then demolished 5-0 by Arsenal, before grinding out a goalless draw when Newcastle visited Elland Road last month.
Then, last weekend, Leeds looked set to add another point to their tally, only to be beaten 1-0 by Fulham at Craven Cottage in the last minute, with Gabriel Gudmundsson scoring a bizarre own goal that has to be seen to be believed. This means the Whites have failed to score in three successive matches, and this remains their key issue, but can they do damage to a beleaguered Wolves side?

Wolves team news
First-choice goalkeeper José Sá sat out last weekend's trip to Newcastle due to illness, hence why Sam Johnstone deputised, but the Portuguese international will be donning the gloves again.
Elsewhere, defensive midfielder Ladislav Krejčí and striker Tolu Arokodare both debuted on Tyneside, with Hwang Hee-chan once again set to partner the latter in attack, given that star centre-forward Jørgen Strand Larsen remains sidelined due to an achilles injury.
Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Leeds United: (5-3-2): José Sá; Tchatchoua, Krejčí, Toti, Agbadou, Møller Wolfe; André, João Gomes, Bellegarde; Hwang Hee-chan, Arokodare.
Wolves player to watch vs Leeds
Tolu Arokodare scored 24 goals across all competitions for Genk last season, so can the new signing, who cost £24m, open his Wolves account?
Leeds team news
Lukas Nmecha is the only Leeds player to score so far this season, converting a late penalty to defeat Everton on the opening weekend.
In search of a winning formulae, Daniel Farke changed his entire front three ahead of the trip to Fulham, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Brendan Aaronson and Noah Okafor the starting trio at Craven Cottage, but Dan James and Wilfried Gnonto will be hoping to return this time.
In goal, Karl Darlow will continue to deputise for the injured Lucas Perri, chosen over former number one Illan Meslier, while right-back James Justin is hoping to make his first start for the club.
Leeds United predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-3-3): Darlow; Bogle, Struijk, Rodon, Gudmundsson; Gruev, Longstaff, Stach; Okafor, Gnonto, Calvert-Lewin
Leeds player to watch vs Wolves
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has never previously scored against Wolves in seven attempts, so now would be a good time for the England international to change that fact.
Wolves vs Leeds prediction
This clash between two of the bottom five could very much go either-way so we're predicting a draw that doesn't really help either, but does at least get Wolves off the mark: Wolves 1-1 Leeds United.
