Kaiser Chiefs bassist and Leeds fan Simon Rix told BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast that Saturday's match against Wolves (15:00 BST) is one that Daniel Farke's side should be targeting to win.

Leeds have picked up four points from their opening four Premier League matches, while Wolves are without a point and are bottom of the table.

After a late defeat against Fulham, Rix said: "Narrative wise, it just depends what happens at Wolves. If we beat Wolves then nobody cares any more."

BBC Radio Leeds' Adam Pope added: "Wolves is the one who have lost any defensive capability they had under [Vitor] Pereira and I think they've made something like 11 changes since the opening game and it is the worst start they have had so it is the one [game for Leeds to target]."

Leeds were victorious in their opening league match against Everton but have failed to win or a score a league goal since, and Rix believes facing Wolves is a good opportunity to rectify that.

He said: "Every game this season so far, there has been an argument that you do just go for a 0-0 and keep it tight and try to nick one. Is the Wolves away game the first game of the season where you go 'this is a game where we need to try to win it?'"
