Leeds United head into this weekend's round of fixtures with their tails up for only the third time in 2022. The Whites have defeated Burnley, West Ham United and Norwich City since the turn of the year, putting a stop to a six-match losing streak with last Sunday's victory over the Canaries.
New head coach Jesse Marsch withdrew Rodrigo Moreno on the hour mark last weekend, who seemed to be playing with strapping on his thigh, and is subject to a late fitness test before tonight's game. Patrick Bamford came through his 45-minute run-out unscathed following a first Leeds United start in six months. He is expected to be named in the starting XI against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Young striker Joe Gelhardt is facing similar circumstances to Rodrigo, as he sat out Tuesday evening's U23 fixture against Manchester United with a slight back issue. It is not thought Gelhardt's injury is serious, and his omission in midweek was merely precautionary. Marsch did indicate they would assess the 19-year-old before this evening's game.
