Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has predicted an opening day draw for Leeds United when Wolverhampton Wanderers visit Elland Road on Saturday.
Leeds collected four points from Wolves last season – coming from two goals behind to win 3-2 at Molineux in their previous outing. Nonetheless, Merson believes Leeds will miss Kalvin Phillips and expects his position to be extremely tough to fill.
“Jesse Marsch did well towards the end of last season, but he’ll have to do without Kalvin Phillips this year,” Merson wrote in his Sportskeeda column.
