Leeds United’s 2022/2023 Premier League campaign got off to a strong start at Elland Road, where the Whites came from 1-0 behind to beat Wolves 2-1 on the opening weekend.
But Whites manager Jesse Marsch insists that there’s still work to be done to his side, whose performance against the Midlands side was far from complete.

How have Southampton been doing?
Southampton have been in poor shape recently, causing Saints boss Ralph Hasenhüttl to be among the bookies’ favourites to be the next Premier League manager to be sacked.
In their first game of the season, James Ward-Prowse gave the Hampshire side the lead at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in the twelfth minute – but it didn’t last long.

Hide AdBy half time, the visitors were trailing 2-1 thanks to Ryan Sessegnon and Eric Dier. Things only got worse after the break, when a pair of Spurs goals around the hour mark made it 4-1 and a long way back for Hasenhüttl’s men.
The result left Southampton at the very foot of the Premier League table.
Injury news
Liam Cooper, Luis Sinisterra and Adam Forshaw are all fit enough to be in contention for the Saints clash.
The fixture comes too soon, however, for Luke Ayling and Junior Firpo, while Stuart Dallas still has some way to go with his recovery from a femoral fracture – though is making good progress.
