Wolves are on a brilliant run in the Championship this season and they have extended their winning run by getting the better of Reading in the last match. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side shrugged off the Royals’ challenge as they stamped their authority once again in the second tier of English football.
The way they are playing at the moment, gaining a promotion only seems a matter of time for the league leaders. However, they will have a daunting task to accomplish when they face Leeds United in the next match.
Thomas Christiansen’s side got the better of Middlesbrough in a very closely contested match and they would be hoping to keep their winning run intact against the in-form Wolves as well.
Wolves are playing an interesting brand of football and Santo’s guidance has complimented them well, as barring a few hiccups, it has been a pretty smooth sailing so far. They are the team to defeat and Leeds certainly will fancy their chances against them.
Predicted 3-4-3 Wolves Starting Lineup Vs Leeds United
Defence
John Ruddy has kept three clean sheets in a row and would be hoping for a much better show against Leeds United.
Conor Coady has been a revelation for this Wolves side. The 24-year old’s transformation to a defender from midfielder has been the talk of the town and he has also been handed the armband. He is likely to lead the defence in this crucial match.
The gaffer is unlikely to tweak his defensive setup which recorded a clean sheet in the last match. Ryan Bennett and Willy Boly will man the backline alongside Coady.
Midfield
Ruben Neves’ inclusion has had a huge impact on the side as the record signing has emerged as their backbone. The Portuguese defensive midfielder will be there in the midfield to pull the string.
Romain Saïss will be alongside him to share the midfield duty with Neves.
Matt Doherty has been a regular in the right wingback role and should start this match.
Rúben Vinagre will be on the left side.
Attack
The front three have played a big part as Wolves reinvented themselves this season. Diogo Jota has been a sensation on the left flank and he is likely to keep his place.
Ivan Cavaleiro has made a mark of his own with some sublime performance and he will operate from the right side.
Léo Bonatini has already found the back of the net 10 times and the onus will be on him to deliver once again.
