The fifth-bottom Whites will be looking to build on Sunday's epic 2-1 victory at home to Norwich City in which Joe Gelhardt struck a 94th-minute winner, just three minutes after Kenny McLean's strike had cancelled out Rodrigo's opener.

Wolves, meanwhile, will be seeking to land a third win on the bounce tonight having followed last Thursday's 4-0 victory at home to Watford with Sunday's 1-0 success at Everton.

Jesse Marsch reaction

“The best part of this one was…. talking at half time not about tactics but about not feeling sorry for ourselves. After three injuries and a late goal, to be thinking it’s not our day and what will we do now? I encouraged them to believe that a good start to the half and a goal will change things. Then we got a boost from the red card, which was deserved. We have a real quality of men. No subs left, four injuries, they were gutsy, they dug in and pushed the game, stayed tough. Young guys coming on and delivering performances like that says a lot about the character of the men that we have, they deserve credit. That’s the identity of Leeds United - gritty, hard, never saying die, giving everything you can to the match. These men do that in a big way. What a result.”

Jesse Marsch on the injuries

“Patrick Bamford we believe is not too bad, we think his plantar fascia is sensitive. Over the last couple of weeks, he’s been trying to get himself back. He was very disappointed, the reaction made it look like a bad injury, just disappointed to come off. Llorente had a bit of a back spasm, it’s been bothering him a bit here and there. He’ll stay here for national team break, we’ll treat him, get him back to full health. Klich had concussion, seems to be ok. Illan picked up a little bit of a hip contusion and we’ll see what that looks like in the coming games but I don’t think it’s too bad.”
