Brave playmaker choice made as winger dropped - Wolves predicted XI gallery v Leeds United

Here’s how we predict Wolverhampton Wanderers’ starting lineup to look against Leeds United in the Premier League on Saturday.

Wolverhampton Wanderers return to home soil on Saturday afternoon for a huge six-pointer clash against fellow relegation battlers Leeds United.

Separated by just four points despite a six-place difference in the standings, this game could be vital for both sides and it will have serious ramifications for others in the dogfight.

Wolves and Leeds cannot be divided when it comes to recent form, as their records match with one win, one draw and three losses in the last five Premier League outings.

The quality of opposition has also been similar in this period, with the number of goals scored (three) being the exact same.

Julen Lopetegui will be hoping that playing at Molineux will give his team somewhat of an advantage at the weekend, but it certainly won’t be easy.

With goals still not flowing, the Spaniard could well switch his personnel up front and we think he will do just that – with a brave selection in attacking midfield. Here’s our predicted Wolves starting XI.
