Leeds United will be hoping to follow up their win at Old Trafford with another result this weekend. Now, there is a bit of breathing space near the bottom of the table after last weekend’s results.
Spurs losing has now moved them into 18th place; Leeds getting a win now sees them six points clear of the bottom. But with seven games to go, nothing is really guaranteed. Nottingham Forest and West Ham also picked up some crucial points this past weekend.
It was very important that Daniel Farke’s men got something out of the game against Manchester United. Looking at their schedule, there look like very few games where they can pick up points, so maximizing some games will be key.
Gary Neville makes prediction ahead of Leeds United clash
This Saturday’s clash against Wolves provides the Whites with a perfect opportunity to pick up another three points. At home in front of the Elland Road crowd alone should be a huge boost. Beating rivals Manchester United will also give them some confidence heading into this game.
On the Stick to Football podcast, Gary Neville and Ian Wright were discussing the Leeds vs Wolves game this weekend and how it plays a part in the relegation battle. When asked about predictions, both Neville and Wright had some very bold opinions.
“They’re beating Wolves!” Ian Wright said.
“3-0 Leeds” Gary Neville added.
Leeds United seem to have won over pundits following their win at Old Trafford, with many tipping them to survive relegation.

Whites must not underestimate Wolves
Beating Manchester United is a huge result, and it pleased the fans to get a win over their rivals. The points have also pushed them away from the relegation zone. But the team must not get caught up in the celebrations, they must treat this weekend’s game just like the one at Old Trafford.
Ahead of the match, Daniel Farke has already warned his players about complacency. Wolves may have lost to West Ham on Friday night, but their recent results show that they are no pushovers. They beat Liverpool and Aston Villa in their last five games. They have all but been relegated, but the team and the players are still fighting. These are the most dangerous teams to face towards the end of the season, and Leeds must take note of that.
