Leeds United return to Elland Road on Saturday and could pull nine points clear of relegation trouble when they host Wolves. Daniel Farke’s side produced one of their best performances of the season to beat Manchester United 2-1 last time out, Noah Okafor’s brace earning a first league win at Old Trafford since 1981.
Speaking ahead of the game on Thursday, Farke confirmed he had no fresh fitness issues to manage while Anton Stach, Joe Rodon and Daniel James all remain doubtful. The Whites boss also warned against complacency, pointing at the recent uptick in form of rock-bottom Wolves ahead of Saturday.
Given the incredible performance at Old Trafford on Monday night, Farke could feasibly keep a winning line-up intact but might also have to manage minutes. Below, the YEP has attempted to predict how he will line up.

2. GK: Karl Darlow
Rarely tested in the first-half at Old Trafford but produced some important saves after the break. Looks a real steady presence at the minute. | AFP via Getty Images
3. CB: James Justin
It's testament to the versatile defender that Leeds never really missed Joe Rodon on Monday. Should get more chance to drift wide and forward into an attacking right-back role against Wolves. | Local Library
4. CB: Jaka Bijol
Another excellent physical performance in the middle of that back three but might have a more nimble opponent on Saturday in the form of Adam Armstrong. Been a while since he's scored from a set-piece. | Getty Images
5. CB: Pascal Struijk
Will be key for Leeds in building from the back as they're expected to dominate possession. Important he keeps the tempo up and can push into midfield when necessary. | AFP via Getty Images

6. RWB: Jayden Bogle
Can he claim an assist for Okafor's opener on Monday? Let's give him it anyway. Caused Man Utd so many problems in that first-half and should do the same to Wolves. | Getty Images
