Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United LIVE: Premier League latest score, goals and updates from fixture

Follow live coverage as Wolverhampton Wanderers face Leeds United today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.

The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.

Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC 1 - 2 Leeds United FC

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United

15:43

After arriving late into a challenge from behind on Ricardo Gomes, Leeds right-back Bogle picks up a booking.

15:43

GOAL!!! LEEDS LEAD AT MOLINEUX! The Whites have turned this game on its head! Following a foul by Krejci, who earlier opened the scoring, Leeds are awarded a 22-yard free-kick. Stach strikes it from a central position, beating Sa with a superb shot into the top-right corner! What a beauty: it's 2-1!

15:43

Wolves have made a slow start to the season, and they generally don't start well in each match. They've now conceded seven first-half goals in five games this term - more than any other team in the Premier League.

15:43

After surrendering possession to Leeds following their opening goal, Wolves now need to liven up. They were too passive after going in front, allowing their visitors to build some momentum. It's a tense atmosphere around Molineux.

15:41

Not only is that just a second goal of the league season for Leeds United, but it's also Calvert-Lewin's first top-flight strike since January. What a relief for the travelling fans - but Wolves will be annoyed not to hold out until half-time.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United

15:33

GOAL!!! LEEDS ARE LEVEL! It's a classic Calvert-Lewin strike! He rises above his marker at the back post, nodding in a guided header from Bogle's cross. It was an excellent delivery from the full-back, and the Leeds striker then did the rest: it's 1-1 at Molineux!

15:33

Farke looks fairly bemused on the bench, as Okafor beats three men in midfield before blasting a loose pass straight out of play.

15:32

When Okafor loses possession on the brink of the box, Wolves counter-attack at pace. However, their move breaks down on the right flank, as Tchatchoua's cutback is misplaced. That sums up the lack of quality in this contest.

15:28

Aaronson can't make the most of Leeds stealing the ball with some good high pressing, after Calvert-Lewin tees him up to shoot. From 20 yards out, he drills his strike high over the crossbar.

15:26

Twice, Gudmundsson threatens to create an opening goal: he first bursts into the box and flashes the ball along a vacant six-yard box, then a volleyed cross is hacked away by Joao Gomes.

15:26

Intervening with a crucial clearance inside his own six-yard box, Toti sweeps the ball away from danger following Okafor's left-wing cross. That's sharp defending.

15:23

On his first Premier League start, Lopez sets up a goal for Krejci, after combining well with another recent signing, Arokodare.

Almost midway through this first half, Opta's live win predictor has the chance of a long-awaited Wolves win at 70%. Meanwhile, Leeds have just an 11% chance of totally turning this around.

15:25

A brief moment of threat by the hosts comes to nothing, as Leeds manage to get bodies back and form a large white wall. Wolves go back and build again, happy to keep hold of the ball.

15:25

Wolves are content to let their visitors have the ball, as they'll sit back and hope to strike again on the counter. Leading against goal-shy opponents offers the home side a great chance to get their first win.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United

15:19

It's easy to see how Leeds have scored just one goal in the Premier League this season - their fewest after four games of any league campaign in the club's whole history. They've offered very little threat today, with an xG of just 0.02 so far.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United

15:17

With a hint of desperation - even at this early stage - Ampadu drives an ambitious 20-yard shot high over the crossbar. He was unlikely to beat Sa from there.

15:16

Betraying his age and relative inexperience, Lopez receives an early booking for hauling back Okafor in central midfield.

15:15

A little isolated so far, Calvert-Lewin is edged off the ball near the left touchline, as Leeds go direct to their centre-forward. Wolves then safely work the ball back to Sa.

15:15

GOAL!!! WOLVES LEAD! The hosts go in front! After Arokodare lays the ball into Lopez, the latter slips through Krejci in the box. He stays calm to beat Darlow with a rising finish into the right side of the net, putting Wolves 1-0 up!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United

15:11

Neither side has been able to build any rhythm as yet, with both clearly intent not to concede. They've barely scored any goals between them this season, so falling behind could prove a major problem.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United

15:08

While it's wet at Molineux, that makes for a slick playing surface, so hopefully we're set for a fast-paced match. To start, though, Leeds are carefully keeping the ball inside their own half.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United

15:02

Leeds United kick off, and we are under way in rainswept Wolverhampton!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United

15:01

Both teams are out on the pitch at Molineux, so kick-off in this Premier League contest is now just moments away!

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United

14:58

Leeds are still without first-choice goalkeeper Lucas Perri, so Darlow starts in an unchanged XI. Farke again places his faith in Okafor and Calvert-Lewin up front.

14:58

Pereira makes four changes to the Wolves team that lost again last week, with fit-again striker Strand Larsen back on the bench. Arokodare and Lopez start up front; Hwang misses out. Johnstone is also dropped, so Sa will play between the hosts' posts.

SUBS: Illan Meslier, Joel Piroe, Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol, Jack Harrison, Ao Tanaka, James Justin, Ilia Gruev, Harry Gray.

WOLVES (3-4-2-1): Jose Sa; Yerson Mosquera, Emmanuel Agbadou, Toti Gomes; Jackson Tchatchoua, Ladislav Krejcí, Joao Gomes, Rodrigo Gomes; Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Fer Lopez; Tolu Arokodare.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United

14:42

Following a painful 1-0 loss to Fulham at Craven Cottage, where Gabriel Gudmundsson’s last-gasp own goal cost them a point, Leeds are just ahead of their hosts in the standings. Since beating Everton on the opening weekend, the Whites have failed to score in three subsequent Premier League games, and their EFL Cup run was cut short by Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday after losing a penalty shootout.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Leeds United

14:42

After last week’s 1-0 loss to Newcastle United on Tyneside, Wolves return to home turf, sitting rock-bottom of the early Premier League table. The Wolverhampton club have lost their first four league games for the very first time, and only five teams have ever suffered five straight defeats at the start of a Premier League campaign. Furthermore, Wolves are winless in their last four meetings with today’s visitors, so Vitor Pereira’s side also have history against them.
