Wolves stat proves Daniel Farke must start Jack Harrison to end Leeds’ woes
Jack Harrison’s goalscoring record against Wolves proves that he could be the man to help Leeds United end their poor run of form in the Premier League.
On the top-flight’s opening weekend, Leeds successfully beat Everton, thanks to Lukas Nmecha’s late penalty.
Since then, though, Daniel Farke’s men have endured two defeats and a draw, including a 5-0 thrashing against Arsenal last month.
Meanwhile, Leeds were also knocked out of the EFL Cup by Sheffield Wednesday, despite the Championship club’s financial woes.
Leeds ace Jack Harrison has made a habit out of scoring vs Wolves
Football Insider have exclusively revealed that Leeds are hopeful of signing Harry Wilson from Fulham in the January transfer window.
The Whites made 10 additions in the summer, including former Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but their impact is yet to be felt in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, Harrison returned to Leeds ahead of the new season, having spent the last two campaigns on loan with Everton.
The 28-year-old must be selected by Farke against Wolves on Saturday, 20 September, as he has scored in three of his last four Premier League appearances at Molineux.
Daniel Farke desperately needs win vs Wolves
Having won promotion from the Championship last term, Leeds have struggled to adjust to the demands of the Premier League and are yet to score a top-flight goal from open play.
| Leeds’ next three fixtures | Premier League 2025/26 |
| 20/09 | Wolves (A) |
| 27/09 | Bournemouth (H) |
| 04/10 | Tottenham (H) |
Meanwhile, the West Yorkshire side’s trip to Wolves on 20 September hands them an opportunity to earn a win against a side who have lost all four of their Premier League games.
However, Farke will pile sack pressure on himself if Leeds fail to yield a positive result against Vitor Pereira’s men, as it would leave the Elland Road club’s chances of survival looking increasingly bleak.
The Whites must also earn victories in their upcoming clashes with Burnley and West Ham United, who are currently suffering from relegation worries.
Meanwhile, Football Insider have exclusively revealed that Leeds will prioritise signing a wide attacker, rather than a striker, to solve their goalscoring issues in the January transfer window.
