LEEDS UNITED commence the Premier League season with a tough encounter against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Jesse Marsch guided the Whites to safety on the final day last season despite flirting with the drop zone for most of the campaign.
And Leeds will be up for this encounter as they scraped all three points from Wolves last time out.
However, losing Raphinha and Kalvin Philips this summer could significantly impact the hosts chances of getting off to a good start.
But they’ll be eager to avoid a repeat of last August when Leeds were humiliated by Manchester United.
What time does Leeds vs Wolves kick off?
Is Leeds vs Wolves on TV and can I live stream it?
- Sadly, Leeds United’s mouth-watering clash with Wolves will NOT be broadcasted live on television in certain parts of the UK.
- This is due to the football blackout laws which prevents matches from being shown live between 2:45pm – 5:15pm.
- However fans in Ireland can stream the entire action live on the Premier Sports app.
Team news
Jesse Marsch will be hoping his seven summer signings will be able to soften the blow of losing Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips.

Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, Tyler Adams, Darko Gyabi, Luis Sinisterra and Sonny Perkins will all be in contention to play their first Premier League match for Leeds.
Elsewhere, Bruno Lage has been handed a massive blow to his striking options as talisman Raul Jiminez is set to be out for several weeks having sustained a medial knee issue.
And back-up forward Fabio Silva has been loaned out to Anderlecht which leaves the Wolves boss with no out-and-out striker.
However, Adama Traore has returned from his disappointing loan spell at Barcelona, which could tempt Lage into putting the Spaniard up-top in the mean time.
