Leeds United improved what had been a poor run of form in the Championship in their last outing by beating rivals Middlesbrough 2-1 at Elland Road.

However, things don’t get any easier tonight (November 22) when the Whites travel to Wolverhampton Wanderers and here are the biggest dangers from the leaders.

Leo Bonatini

Signed on loan from Al-Hilal over the summer and has immediately hit the ground running in the second tier of English football and his ten league goals is second only to Sheffield United’s Leon Clarke in the top-scoring charts.

Bonatini operates in a fluid attacking three for Wolves and is not averse to turning provider either with four assists, so keeping the Brazilian quiet could be key to success.

Diogo Jota

The problem for Leeds is Bonatini is not the only threat going forwards at Molineux and another loanee in Jota, who joined from Atletico Madrid, is just as potent from the left wing.

The 20-year-old has seven goals and three assists in the league and looks like a player who would be more than comfortable playing in the Premier League.

Another who could almost certainly operate in the top tier of English football having already been the youngest Champions League captain in history during his time at Porto.

Wolves paid a Championship record £15.8m (BBC) for the midfielder over the summer and his touch, technique and ability to control play has been vital in their impressive form.
