Leeds United kick off their 2022/23 Premier League campaign at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend

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.

Leeds United 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers highlights: Whites come from behind to win

32’ Hwang down again in the Leeds box. Time for a quick breather. Leeds fans not happy at his carry-on so far.

28' Harrison squanders a good breakaway opportunity after Aaronson found him on the left. American made the right pass at the right time, there.

Elland Road bouncing after that

26’ Roca now with a low effort that Sa saves.

GOOOOALLLLL RODRIGO 1-1

Leeds equalise through Rodrigo from a tight angle. Aaronson wins the ball from Ait-Nouri inside the box, it squirms to Rodrigo who sells Neves a dummy and finishes low under Sa. Back in it.

22’ Up the other end, Bamford can’t get the ball under his spell but lays it off to Aaronson whose clipped cross finds Sa’s gloves.

21’ Meslier denies Hwang after turning Koch inside the box. Good, low save.

20’ Harrison booked for a trip on Neto who was making his way into Leeds’ half on the break.

16’ Remarkably, play carries on. No VAR check. No penalty.
