The final match of the weekend in the English Premier League is played on Monday night between Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers. The game will be played at Elland Road and the hosts come into the match on 7 points while the visitors are one point behind them in the table.
Leeds United will be delighted with the start they have made on their return to the Premier League. Their most recent match came at home prior to the international break against Manchester City and Leeds United came away with a point in a 1-1 draw. Manchester City dominated in the early parts of the game but Leeds United came back strongly and no one could have complained if they had taken maximum points.
Leeds United began their Premier League campaign with a tough away fixture against reigning champions Liverpool. Despite losing the match 4-3, Leeds United delivered an excellent performance and it set the tone for the beginning of the season. Following that game, Leeds United picked up two victories, one at home against Fulham and the other away at Sheffield United.
Home advantage has proven key for Leeds United in recent matches and they are undefeated in their last 11 consecutive home games in all competitions. They have kept a clean sheet in 8 of their last 11 home matches but both teams have scored in each of their two home Premier League games this season.
Wolverhampton Wanderers picked up a crucial 1-0 home win over Fulham in their most recent Premier League fixture. It was a match they were expected to win against a team that has been struggling following their promotion from the Championship. However, Wolverhampton Wanderers had suffered a setback in their season having suffered back to back defeats in the Premier League against Manchester City and West Ham United.
While there is nothing wrong in losing against Manchester City, the 4-0 defeat at West Ham United was cause for concern. Wolverhampton Wanderers cannot afford another away performance like they produced at West Ham if they want to take something from this match.
Trends show Wolverhampton Wanderers have suffered 3 defeats in their last 5 Premier League games by 2 or more goals. They have also picked up just a single victory in their last 5 away Premier League matches.
Team news and Leeds United will be without Diego Llorente who has a muscle injury. Adam Forshaw, Francisco Casilla, Liam Cooper, and Pablo Hernandez are all doubts.
Wolverhampton Wanderers travel without full-back Jonny, who is not expected back in action until March. New signing Fernando Marcal is a doubt.
This has the makings of being a highly entertaining game as Leeds United have already shown this season they have what it takes to score the goals to win this match. Wolverhampton Wanderers could also find the back of the net but it would not be a surprise to see the hosts take maximum points.
