Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 Leeds United highlights: Young Whites defeated by late Traore strike
and live on Freeview channel 276
Leeds are on the cusp of recording three straight victories in all competitions, just weeks after head coach Jesse Marsch’s job appeared at risk. The American – who turned 49 years old yesterday – is under no illusions that results must continue to improve after an eight-game winless run earlier this season, but victories over Liverpool and AFC Bournemouth in back-to-back fixtures have lifted Leeds to 12th in the Premier League table.
It means United will not be in the bottom three when the league breaks for a month to accommodate this year’s winter World Cup in Qatar. In the meantime, Leeds have two further fixtures to fulfil, beginning this evening against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Third Round of the Carabao Cup.

Welcome to Molineux
We’re back at the home of Wolverhampton Wanderers, just short of eight months since Leeds’ unlikely 3-2 comeback on this ground in one of Jesse Marsch’s first games.
It’s the third time Marsch faces the West Midlands club since his arrival, after defeating Bruno Lage earlier this season in what proved to be one of the Portuguese coach’s last games in charge.
