Last Word on Football brings you the latest team news and predicted lineups as relegation-fighting Leeds United host rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers at Elland Road. After collecting a first victory at Old Trafford since 1981, Daniel Farke\u2019s Leeds are now six points clear of 18th-placed Tottenham, and will be keen to put another three points between themselves and jeopardy. Although Wolves are long relegated, back-to-back fixtures against Leeds and Spurs mean they may still have a huge say in who joins them in the Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leeds United Team News<\/b><\/h3>\n

In his pre-match press conference<\/a>, Farke stated that all players who were fit for the victory over Manchester United are available for the Wolves game.<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about the injured Joe Rodon, Daniel James, and Anton Stach, the German said: \u201cThe first step is team training, and today no one is back in team training, but we have two days. We can always have a surprise.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On the monumental victory at Old Trafford, he said: \u201cWe are pretty proud. We know how much it means to our fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was great to send them back with such an amazing win but as a group we have to put a line under it. One of the highlights of the season.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Turning his attention to bottom-placed Wolves, he said: \u201cI\u2019m full of respect. When expectations are high, these are the most difficult.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIf you look at recent performances, there is no reason not to be humble. Only disappointing result in recent months was last week\u2019s loss [to West Ham].\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Rob Edwards said<\/a> goalkeeper Sam Johnstone remains unavailable with a shoulder issue. <\/span>He added that Matt Doherty is \u2018pushing\u2019 for a return to the side after being involved in training this week, and the club will make a \u2018late call\u2019 on his involvement in the Leeds game.<\/span><\/p>\n

On last week\u2019s heavy defeat to West Ham: \u201cI think in this league, everyone loses games and you\u2019re going to drop points. The result was horrible but we can\u2019t let that knock us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked about his side\u2019s ambitions for the remainder of the season, Edwards said: \u201cWhether it\u2019s Friday night games or Monday night games, take the last one aside, I think we\u2019ve shown a good side to ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to try and get as many points as possible and take it as far as we can.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On Leeds boss Farke: \u201cI think he\u2019s a brilliant manager. I think he\u2019s done a great job.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cElland Road is always a really good atmosphere as well. They\u2019ll be buoyed by the result last time out away at Manchester United so it should be a really good game for us,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n
