Leeds United news: ‘Only one winner’ in Wolves clash after Patrick Bamford fitness update – pundit
Gabby Agbonlahor has tipped Wolves to beat Leeds United tonight (18 March).
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Aston Villa and England attacker claimed Wolves’ attack will be relishing coming up against Leeds’ leaky defence.
As quoted by Leeds Live yesterday (17 March), Jesse Marsch revealed Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper are both available for the trip to Molineux.
He also confirmed Patrick Bamford will be ready after he was replaced at half-time during the 2-1 win over Norwich City last weekend (13 March).
It was his first start for the Whites since September after missing months of action with various injuries.
“Bamford did OK,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley.
“But they should be beating Norwich, Leeds’ next game is when you judge them and how they are doing. Norwich are a very poor side and Leeds should be beating them so I wouldn’t be too quick to make a judgement after that game.
“Leeds did show they are up for the fight, they showed a lot of grit. Even after they conceded, they went on to score the winner so you’ve got to give them credit for that.
“Wolves will be a tough game. They are on a good run with a very strong, organised team.
“They will be looking to get at that Leeds defence. I can only see one winner, a result for Wolves, to be honest.”
Wolves are unbeaten in six league meetings between the two sides since a 1-0 home loss in the Championship in October 2016.
Leeds last won at Molineux in September 1973 and have lost the last five in a row.
