Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leeds United will meet in a huge battle down at the bottom end of the Premier League this weekend at Molineux as the home side now sit up in 13th and as far away from the relegation zone as they have been all campaign long.
The same cannot be said for Leeds, however, as they have moved down into 19th and as low in the table as they have been this season after witnessing Bournemouth win against Liverpool to push them into 18th.

Leeds can, however, move right out of the bottom three with a win in this game, just as long as West Ham and Bournemouth fail to win as the gap is just one point on those sides for the Whites.
Leeds' 2-2 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion means they have still won only five games in the Premier League.
The draw with Brighton also means eight draws in the league, meaning only Brentford and Newcastle United have drawn more. The Whites have, however, lost 13 times and let in 42 goals now.
Wolves come into this one having fallen back into the losing column after a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle United. Julen Lopetegui has still managed to guide his side out of the relegation zone and into 13th, as they defeated Tottenham Hotspur two weeks ago.
Leeds' injuries have eased a lot over the last few weeks with the likes of Patrick Bamford returning to the setup. However, they remain without Adam Forshaw and Stuart Dallas in this one, while Tyler Adams is set to miss a bunch more games in the forthcoming weeks.
Liam Cooper's awaited return could happen here, as he is ready to play but could start on the bench.
As for Wolves’ team news, Sasa Kalajdzic is set to miss the rest of the season and Francisco Tavares Oliveira is going to be in a race to get fit before the end of the campaign too.
Hugo Beuno is also not going to be back until April, while Diego Costa's absence continues with an injury that will see him out until some stage in April. Pablo Sarabia is set to face a late fitness test ahead of this one, as is Boubacar Traore.
Forebet predicts a victory for Wolves in this one and for the game to see under 2.5 goals with the Midlands side letting in 37 goals and scoring just 20 of their own.
