Can Jesse Marsch and his American duo of Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams get off to a winning start?
Nelson Semedo will also miss out but Wolves have plenty of defensive depth to cope with his absence. The biggest miss will be the heart of the defense Liam Cooper who is still carrying an Achilles injury from the offseason. Without a traditional striker available, Neto and Podence will share the load atop the attack but the team usually struggles to score when Jimenez isn't available. Leeds' summer business has been in direct contrast to that of Wolves. Bruno Lage needs attacking reinforcements after his side only scored 38 goals last season but instead Fabio Silva was loaned to Belgium and Nathan Collins has been the only addition. With Leeds being defensively suspect, can they kick off the season on a positive note? After avoiding relegation last season, expectations are high for Jesse Marsch and Leeds United. The pressure of securing Premier League safety has been replaced with the pressure of making new signings work after being backed heavily by the board during the summer.
Leeds United came from behind to record a morale-boosting opening day Premier League win, running out 2-1 winners against Wolves.
Even seeing him on the pitch for a sustained period of time was a bonus for the club’s top striker, but he was a split-second short of full sharpness on a few first-half attacks. Busy and threatening from the off, and his pressing to win the ball back high was a huge part of Rodrigo’s equaliser. Probably third-best of the three attacking midfielders in the first half but followed Aaronson in snapping at the heels of Wolves defenders to spring Rodrigo for his goal, and put in a beautiful cross late in the period that was just out of Rodrigo and Bamford’s reach. Crashed into one first half challenge to the delight of the supporters in the stands and was just about the pick of the defenders. Surprisingly bullied off the ball by Pedro Neto in the build up to the Wolves opener. Stepped out from the back and gave away possession in the build up to the opening goal, then was out of position as Hwang nodded down at the back post to assist.

Rodrigo and a Rayan Ait-Nouri own goal delivered an opening day victory for Leeds United against Wolves, with Brenden Aaronson starring in victory.
Klich replaced Rodrigo, and instantly Leeds seemed to have reasonable control of the ball. A terrific debut performance from Aaronson, who was at the centre of everything Leeds did positively. The French keeper had a busy day at the office but ensured his team was in the game. However, in a swift attacking move, debutant Aaronson forced an own-goal via Ait-Nouri, to give Leeds the decisive strike of the match. However, Leeds then caught Wolves out in the 24th minute as Rodrigo fired a shot past Jose Sa to equalise. The game did have a fast start courtesy of Leeds United, which was soon dampened by Pascal Struijk’s error.

We want to play with the ball, and there are plenty of games in the previous season that we don't dominate the game in the same way. "Wolves pushed the game in a big way at the start of the second half, and we had to hang on and fight. It's not just about the ball, it is about being aggressive in the final third to find chances." We came here with big confidence because the pre-season was good, we have confidence to play in this system," said Lage. "The work has been really good in pre-season, and we are adapting more to the way that I would like to see us play the game, and in moments like this, you need validation. "It was easier than some of our matches last season when we had to wait until the last seconds of the match. "We did quite well with and against the ball. So from the first half until the end of the game we have a lot of time to shake hands to apologise. It didn't happen and in the end it's more difficult to accept because we have a long time to do that. The second half was our best period, we had 20 or 30 minutes where we dominated. His wait for a deputy striker goes on with less than a month of the transfer window to go. There was a contentious moment less than 10 minutes later as Sa collided with Kristensen in the area after recklessly coming off his line to claim a cross.

The hosts equalised in the 24th minute after Rodrigo Moreno, who scored five goals in their five pre-season friendlies, received the ball inside the box and tapped it in low inside the near post under the diving goalkeeper Jose Sa. Wolves, who were without their two forwards Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore due to injury, took an early lead through Daniel Podence in the sixth minute when his shot took a bounce and found its way into the net over Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier. However, closer checks showed it was Wolves' Ait-Nouri who bundled ball over the line in the 74th minute, not the Leeds winger who was making his debut.

Leeds United begin their Premier League campaign with a clash against Wolves, with both sides seeking a winning start.
However, the striker has regained fitness in time for the new season and will be a key man for Jesse Marsch’s side. The Midlands side were not necessarily fluid in the final third last season and without the arrival of new attackers, that trend may continue. The Leeds frontman endured a difficult season last time out due to long spells out with injury. Lage could replace Daniel Podence with Hwang Hee-Chan in the absence of Jimenez. There could be a start for Morgan Gibbs-White, who is at the centre of transfer speculation linking him to Nottingham Forest. Nelson Semedo, Chiquinho and Raul Jimenez are certainly out of action, with the latter facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Wolves’ summer arrival Nathan Collins will feature from the start, probably on the right side of the back three. Meanwhile, Wolves will be looking for inspiration after their dire run of form in the latter part of last season. Illan Meslier will be the starting goalkeeper, while the defence may look a bit unconventional. Rodrigo will slot in as the attacking midfielder behind star striker Patrick Bamford who is fit to start. Jesse Marsch ensured his starting eleven against Cagliari played the full 90 minutes, which could be an indication of his opening day lineup. They won three of their five friendlies, with the latest one a 6-2 triumph over Cagliari last weekend.

The lead was so nearly extended shortly after, with the Whites refusing to just accept and rest on their advantage. Tyler Adams was involved all over the pitch, showing energy and desire to win the ball back and then start attacks when he had succeeded in doing so. However, goals from Rodrigo and debutant Brenden Aaronson saw United begin the new season with a win.
