Wolves vs Leeds United Preview

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 20 September 2025
• Kick-off Time: 2:00 pm GMT
• Venue: Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton, West Midlands

Matchday five of the 2025/26 Premier League season will include Wolverhampton Wanderers welcoming Leeds United on Saturday afternoon at the Molineux Stadium. The two sides are struggling in the Premier League currently, with Wolves sitting in 20th place with no points on the board. Leeds' situation is only a little better, occupying the 16th spot with just four points so far. Consequently, the upcoming encounter will hold great value for both clubs involved. English referee Anthony Taylor will officiate the Wolves vs Leeds United fixture.

Wolves narrowly escaped relegation last season, but unfortunately, the club might not be able to hold out this year. Vitor Pereira has so far overseen four defeats out of four games in the league. Once regarded as one of the most potent clubs in England, Wolverhampton Wanderers are now struggling to hold a place in the top division. Various factors can be attributed to Wolves' decline, including uninspiring business in the transfer market for several years. The team has conceded 2.3 goals per game in the Premier League, which is the second highest.

Inconsistencies and mixed results have marked the recent matches of Leeds United. In the last six matches, the club has managed just a single victory to go along with two draws and three defeats. During this period, Leeds had scored just three goals and conceded eight. After having spent two seasons in the Championship, Leeds will be content with four points from the first four matchdays. Daniel Farke has a talented and able squad at his disposal, and he will be aiming to survive in the top tier. Leeds has kept two clean sheets from four games, which outlines the defensive prowess of the squad.

Wolves Team News

Enso Gonzalez (Knee Injury) and Jorgen Strand Larsen (Achilles Tendon Injury) will not be available for selection on matchday four. There are also looming doubts over the participation of Ki-Jana Hoever, who is recovering from a knee issue.

Leeds United Team News

Daniel Farke is expected to go in with a 4-3-3 formation. He will have to factor in the injuries and fitness issues of Joel Piroe and Lucas Perri. The 4-3-3 shape will allow the German coach to have ideal midfield control as well as dynamism in attack.

Key Players to Watch in Wolves vs Leeds United

Hee-Chan Hwang (Wolves)

For Wolves, the key player will definitely be Hee-Chan Hwang. The club has registered just 2.6 xG in the first four games, which is the lowest. For the team's form and results to improve, it is indispensable that Hee-Chan Hwang delivers in front of the goal. The 29-year-old has been one of the main goal contributors for Wolves in recent years. He was only able to score a modest two goals last season and will be determined to improve on that figure this year.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds United)

Leeds United's journey in the Premier League so far this season has been built on a cautious approach. While some might regard this approach as a bit pessimistic, Daniel Farke is well merited in ensuring his team's survival. However, with that said, it is important to note that Leeds will depend on the forwards to be clinical and deliver with the minimal opportunities in hand. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has joined the club after a fruitful nine-year spell at Everton. He is a perfect embodiment of a traditional number nine and will be looking to cause menace to the Wolves' backline.

A goalfest is not on the cards with both teams currently struggling in front of goal. It might very well come to individual quality, making the difference to the scoreboard on Saturday
