Comments:

League position: 10th Leeds United had now lost three of their last 19 league games (won 14). The Whites failed to scored for the second time in their last 19 league games. This was United's first league defeat at Elland Road since the visit of Wigan Athletic in the League Championship on 1 February 2020 (0-1). Liam Cooper was originally named in the starting line-up before suffering an injury in the pre-match warm-up. Pascal Struijk was promoted to the starting XI with Jamie Shackleton taking his place on the bench.

Comments:

League position: 6th Wolverhampton Wanderers had now kept a clean sheet in each of their last eight wins in the Premier League. They had now scored 13 of their last 17 goals in the Premier League in the second-half of games. Raúl Jiménez had now scored 30 goals in all competitions for Wolves since the start of the previous season. Romain Saïss scored after 53 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.
