Wolverhampton V Leeds - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.


No new fitness worries for Wolves

Kenny Jackett will select from an unchanged pool of Wolves players for the home clash with Leeds.

Carl Ikeme will start a fifth successive game between the sticks as Arsenal loanee Emi Martinez remains sidelined with a thigh problem that could keep him out until January.

Kortney Hause is also absent because of a hamstring strain that has kept the defender out since October.

Jackett has named the same starting line-up in successive fixtures, but does have eight-goal striker Benik Afobe as an option if he decides to make changes.

Leeds can call on their captain Sol Bamba once more.

The centre-back has not played in over a month because of a fractured toe, but has come through a week of full training to warrant inclusion in the squad.

The Whites were dealt a blow earlier this week, though, as it was confirmed Gaetano Berardi could be out of action for eight weeks, having picked up an ankle injury at Charlton at the weekend.

It means Scott Wootton, who started against the Addicks only to be removed two minutes into the second period, will likely fill in again at right-back.
