Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Leeds United in the Premier League today.

Wolves are just above the group of teams fighting directly against relegation, following an improved run under Julen Lopetegui, but there’s still little margin for error. They sit 13th, three points above the drop zone.

Leeds are right in the mire and have won just one of the last six, leaving them 19th in the table and needing a result here to climb out of the relegation zone. They’ve won just once away from home this season though.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United

Close again for Wolves. This time it's Neves who sees a dipping 25-yard effort go wide of the left post. The home side are huffing and puffing but thus far can not blow down the resolute Leeds door.

Leeds have struggled to trouble the Wolves goal since that bright start, but they will be more than happy to try and soak up this pressure and hit on the counter.

Wolves have had 66% of the possession so far here, but thus far Leeds are doing just enough to maintain their advantage.

CHANCE! Oh that's a big, big moment in this game. Kilman plays a superb ball across the face of goal that Leeds struggle to defend. It eventually falls to Neto, but Wober makes an incredible block to Wolves at bay.

Wolves have won three of their past four home league games (L1), more than they had in their previous 12 (W2 D3 L7). All five of their home league wins this season have been to nil, though, with Wolves winless in their last 10 league games in which they've conceded at Molineux (D2 L8).

The hosts are starting to enjoy a fair bit of possession but credit to Leeds, who are hassling and pressing like a herd of Bison to keep Wolves at bay.

After that electric start, the game has cooled down just a touch, which will suit Leeds down to the ground. Wolves' attackers look capable of creating something, though.

A clumsy foul from Firpo on Neto leaves to a free-kick in a promising area for Wolves. Podence's delivery does find Dawson, but Ayling does well and the Wolves centre-back can only head harmlessly over the crossbar.
