Leeds United writer with The Athletic.
Arguably Leeds United's best player is available for selection after Saturday's knock. James also back to turn the screw on Aaronson. Darlow continues after two excellent performances.

DF: "Edmund Riemer takes charge of it. We have promoted two of our guys in the background on this topic. Still a team effort. Disrespectful to say we do not have an expert on this. I don't believe in there being one guy on the TV for every set-piece."

DF: "Lucas has not joined us in team training yet. We hope he can join us next week. Realistic to say he is not in contention before the international break. Once he's back in team training, it does not mean he is back to his best after one session."

Leeds and Everton reached out-of-court settlement over latter's 21-22 PSR breach this year. United were 17th and Everton 16th that year. Undisclosed sum, but Leeds received ยฃ2m less than Everton for finishing one place back. Burnley currently pursuing Everton in courts after 2022 relegation.

Noah Okafor is a work in progress at Leeds United, but two starts have shown he may be the x-factor in this season's attack.

Pereira: "First half not in our level. Second half, took more risks, two strikers with Munetsi. Created chances to score, problems in their box. No counters for them. Then just two defenders. Tried everything to score."

Pereira: "We tried to correct behaviours this week. Conversations about starting well. After we scored, we stopped pressing, pushing. Started to go back. Conceded space and they scored. Very easy for me to speak about mistakes, but I am not this type of manager."

DF asked about promoted three: "We have analysed the last season and seen what you have to do in this league, but we stay humble. I do not want to speak publicly about this, about our window and our strategy. Seven points is good, but too early to celebrate us and the other promoted sides."

DF: "The narrative in this club changes every week. With seven points, everyone will now discuss Europe. Football is emotions and people can fear the worst after a loss. I am glad we send them home to a nice weekend. We stay humble. They can dream a bit."

Farke says it's too early to provide a firm update on Bogle. Opponent studs landed on his foot and it's very swollen. Hopeful it's not bad, but won't know more until next few days.

DF: "Would have liked more possession and control in the second half. They were throwing everything at it. We were always reacting in the second half, but I like we showed defensive steel. Good in our own box. Hard-fought and tight, but deserved."

Farke speaking. DF: "Dominant first half. Clinical edge. Excellent goals. Key was confidence in our start, we wanted to dominate this game. Sadly, mistake was punished in not tracking the run. Crucial we did not dwell on this. Kept believing in processes."

Full time. That's a mega win for Leeds. Wolves beat them on possession, shots, shots on target, big chances and xG, but it all amounts to nothing. Finishing from Leeds in those three goals was imperious. So many good performances.

Still more than 15 minutes to go and Wolves are just getting the ball into the box a little too often for my liking. Leeds have numbers in there to compete, but the hosts are getting into the final third too easily and then giving themselves that chance around the box. Tanaka imminent.

For the third time in the game, Stach and Gudmundsson combine down the left. Latter gets to the byline, smartly goes by a defender and then rolls it up on a plate for someone to tap-in. Nobody on it.

Decent chance spurned by Longstaff. Okafor again gets the better of Agbadou down the side. Cuts back for Stach, touch, traffic, then rolls it on for Longstaff. Has time, but scuffs it low and slow to Sa.

WHAT A SAVE! Stunning from Darlow again. Arokadare gets up to nod a cross down for Munetsi to rifle at goal and Darlow somehow gets down to stop it. Should be 3-2.

Superb stop from Darlow, at full stretch, to tip over a point-blank Munetsi header after Gomes headed a corner back in, uncontested. Referee eventually blew for a push anyway, but Darlow didn't know that when making the save.

Half-time. Boos around three sides. Wolves are dire, but Leeds have battled well and taken full advantage when the chances have come. Gudmundsson, Stach and Ampadu excellent against the ball. Okafor and Calvert-Lewin giving some bite in attack too.

Wow. 3-1 before the break. Natives are very restless now. Agbadou passes the ball straight to Stach, Leeds counter, German feeds Okafor down the left channel, gets ahead of his man and angles the ball into the far bottom corner.

Front-three clicking a touch more for Leeds. Calvert-Lewin is providing that focal point, drawing fouls, while Okafor and Aaronson are carrying the ball well. Need more, but there are signs they can pull Wolves out of shape.

Finally they have one from open play! Bogle wraps his foot around an exquisite cross and Calvert-Lewin times his leap and header wonderfully. A proper No 9's angled header to match Gudmundsson's of last week.

Calvert-Lewin again misreads a good pass into the middle. Gudmundsson and Stach combine again to get the latter in behind down the left channel. Promising cutback, but No 9 gambles on a different pass.

The grim game we expected between two poor attacks. Wolves more than happy to sit off and counter when Leeds commit bodies. Okafor the best outlet, but end product not there. Bogle hasn't had the chance to drive forward yet.

Arokodare drops off for a lay-off, edge of the box, simple pass into space for Krejci to run onto and guide past Darlow, one vs one. Nobody tracked his run from deep. Longstaff should have cut it out, but went to ground too early and it went by him. Poor start after that chance.
