Conor McGilligan has claimed that Leeds United have to watch out for Wolves star Ruben Neves tomorrow evening.
Leeds United travel to Molineux tomorrow as Jesse Marsch looks to win his first game away from home as manager and make it back to back victories for just the second time this season, although it won’t be easy considering Wolves have recorded back to back victories themselves.
Will Leeds be relegated?
Yes!
No!
Wolves are having a great season sitting eighth in the Premier League and just five points off the top four and have a great chance of qualifying for Europe next season so will be hoping to take three points off relegation-threatened Leeds.
McGilligan has urged Leeds to keep a close eye on Ruben Neves tomorrow night as he’s switched the play to the opposite flank the fourth-most in the league this season.
Worth keeping an eye on Ruben Neves in 4th, you would expect if Leeds were to operate a little narrower, Wolves will utilise Neves here to set Marcal & Jonny off.
They did this to Ralf Ragnick's Manchester United effectively in a 1-0 away win.

TIF Thoughts on Leeds’ match tomorrow night…
Leeds are still by no means safe from the drop into the Championship after their win against Norwich as other struggles such as Watford and Brentford picked up crucial victories last weekend to ensure the Whites remained in a scrap to stay up.
If Marsch is to pick up another huge three points on Friday evening then having someone such as Kalvin Phillips, who is back in contention for the first time in months, to sit on Neves and ensure that he doesn’t get enough space to switch the play quickly, as he’s done so often, otherwise, the Portuguese midfielder could have a field day at Molineux.
