One win does not Premier League survival make and that’s perhaps why the best our Leeds United jurors can hope for against Wolves is a draw.

While welcome, the Whites’ last-gasp win over Norwich City - the ‘worst team in the division’ - didn’t manage to iron out the worry wrinkles but, coupled with the return of striker Patrick Bamford and rising star Joe Gelhardt’s continued upward trajectory, optimism is also on the up.

Here’s what our panel has to say:

Following the disappointing performance against Aston Villa last Thursday night, Leeds kept everyone waiting to the bitter end to secure a memorable victory at home to Norwich City on Sunday afternoon.

Leeds travel to the Black Country on Friday evening to face an improving Wolverhampton Wanderers side who have enjoyed a fine season under Bruno Lage.

The reverse fixture at Elland Road saw Leeds claim a vital point thanks to a late penalty from Rodrigo, after wonder kid Joe Gelhardt had been fouled in the area.

Joe Gelhardt is all smiles - and has every reason to be pleased with himself reckon Leeds United fans. Picture: Tony Johnson.Joe Gelhardt is all smiles - and has every reason to be pleased with himself reckon Leeds United fans. Picture: Tony Johnson.

I am expecting a similar game at Molineux, with Patrick Bamford leading the line following his return against the Canaries.
