Wolves host Leeds United this weekend with both sides in need of a win to relieve a lot of the pressure in the relegation battle.
This season’s scrap at the bottom of the table looks to be one of the most intense in the league’s history, with as many as nine teams in with a strong chance of being in the mix, come May.
Leeds and Wolves are two of those sides, having changed their managers from the start of the season in order to correct their trajectory, opting for Spaniard’s Javi Gracia and Julen Lopetegui respectively.
It’s a match that could see Wolves extend their gap to the bottom three with a win, while Leeds in 19th could go within a point of 13th-placed Wolves with a win tomorrow.
Here, we look at all the latest matchday information as we look ahead to kick-off…
What time is kick-off?
Kick-off is at 3pm on Saturday 17th March, at Molineux.
