Leeds return to Elland Road for a third successive top flight season today as the Whites take on Bruno Lage’s Wolves in this year’s season opener.

United survived on the final day of 2021/22 and have parted with star men Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips during the summer transfer window.

Those exits have been mitigated somewhat by the arrival of five senior players in Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, Tyler Adams and Luis Sinisterra – while the club remain active in the market for a left-back and centre-forward.

This afternoon’s opponents are without key man Raul Jimenez who picked up a knee injury in pre-season and misses out at Elland Road.

Lage’s side have reverted to a back four during the off-season and could pose Leeds head coach Jesse Marsch a tactical headache this afternoon.

GOOOOALLLLL BRENDEN AARONSON 2-1

Leeds go in front and it’s lovely play from the back to front. Klich slides in Bamford who squares it into the six-yard box for Aaronson to tap in. Debut goal.

72’

ON: Greenwood

OFF: Roca

Applauded off

69’ Klich flashes one across the six yard box which runs all the way to the far side for Struijk to chase. Somehow he keeps it in and wins a corner. Set-piece swung in but out for a goal kick.

68’ Big, big tackle inside the box. Kristensen swings a leg and gets ball, then man, as Ait-Nouri bore down on goal. Crucial.

64’

ON: Klich

OFF: Rodrigo

61’ Corner Wolves. Struijk slides in to deny Gibbs-White a chance to cross. Wolves in the ascendancy since the restart.

57’ SAVE! Meslier to the rescue, tipping over Dendoncker’s goalbound header.

Struijk heads away the follow-up corner before Meslier is then called into action again saving from Gibbs-White.

55' Llorente with a decisive block inside the area after Neto spun away from trouble with a lovely skill.

52' Kristensen plays a lovely first-time low cross into the box but it's too heavy for Bamford. Harrison recycles it and Rodrigo clips a cross in for the overhead kick. Bamford penalised for a high boot.

51' Wolves with more of the ball this half. No clear cut chances for either side yet. Koch clears Hwang's ball into the six-yard box with an outstretched leg.
