LEEDS UNITED open their 2022/23 Premier League account on Saturday with a tough encounter against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Jesse Marsch miraculously guided the Whites to safety last season despite flirting with the drop zone for most of the campaign.
And Leeds will be up for this encounter as they scraped all three points from Wolves last time out.
However, losing Raphinha and Kalvin Philips this summer could significantly impact the hosts chances of getting off to a good start.
But they'll be eager to avoid a repeat of last August when Leeds were humiliated by Manchester United.
What time does Leeds vs Wolves kick off?
- Leeds United will host Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, August 6.
- It is scheduled to kick off at 3pm UK time.
- Elland Road in Leeds is the designated venue for this match and it can host around 37,792 spectators.
- Luke Ayling's stoppage time strike secured all three points for the Whites when they faced Wolves in March.

Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, Tyler Adams, Darko Gyabi, Luis Sinisterra and Sonny Perkins will all be in contention to play their first Premier League match for Leeds.
Elsewhere, Bruno Lage has been handed a massive blow to his striking options as talisman Raul Jiminez is set to be out for several weeks having sustained a medial knee issue.
And back-up forward Fabio Silva has been loaned out to Anderlecht which leaves the Wolves boss with no out-and-out striker.
However, Adama Traore has returned from his disappointing loan spell at Barcelona, which could tempt Lage into putting the Spaniard up-top in the mean time.
