Leeds United play host to Wolves in the Premier League at Elland Road on Monday night. Marcelo Bielsa's men have made an impressive start upon their return to the top flight and they have won two and lost none of their last three fixtures. This run of form leaves them eighth in the table after four games. Big things were expected of Wolves after they challenged for a Champions League place last season, however, their start to the season has been mediocre with two wins and two defeats from their first four games. It puts them 13th in the table. They went into the international break on the back of a 1-0 home win, so maybe they can build on that success. Leeds have impressed in their two home league games so far with the most recent result being a 1-1 draw against Manchester City. They rode their luck a bit but ultimately Leeds deserved their point. Their first two matches each featured seven goals but the two since then have shown that the goal activity has calmed down with one and two goals in the respective two fixtures. 

Wolves began their season with a 2-0 win at Bramall Lane but didn't enjoy the same fortunes from their next trip, suffering a surprisingly heavy 4-0 defeat to West Ham. They followed it up with a more assured defensive performance, keeping a clean sheet in that aforementioned win over Fulham. Nuno has shown himself to be a tactically astute manager since guiding Wolves to the top flight, so his strategic battle with Bielsa should be interesting. Bielsa may be more guided by principles that he doesn't compromise on than Nuno and we see the visitors taking advantage of these pure ideals with Adam Traore on the counter. Back Wolves draw no bet.
