The Premier League 2022-23 season is set to kick off on August 6, 2022. It will mark the 31st season of the top-flight English football. Manchester City are the defending champions and are two-times defending champions having won the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons. A game between Leeds United and Wolves may be important to the title race, as Leeds will be keen to avoid relegation.
With the Premier League fixtures 2022 in place, the Leeds United will kick off their 2022-23 season with a home game against Wolves. The Yorkshire club narrowly avoided relegation last season, and will face Wolves on August 6. Then they will face Manchester United and Liverpool away. On the road, Leeds will face Southampton in their first game and Chelsea in their second. In addition, the Whites will face Brighton & Hove Albion and Everton later in the season.
This match is not set to be live streamed. Neither side has a win over the other. Wolves were beaten by Southampton last season, and have a difficult October ahead. After hosting Southampton on August 18, they play Chelsea at Old Trafford on August 20. And last season, they finished 17th, while Leeds finished ninth. So, a win here would be a huge boost for the Whites, who are aiming to reach the Premier League in 2022-23.
The 2021/22 season for Leeds United was a tough one for the Whites. After four consecutive heavy defeats and a six-game winless streak, Marcelo Bielsa left the club. His replacement, Jesse Marsch, saved the team from the relegation zone by winning the final game at Brentford. He also axed two key players, Raphina and Kalvin Phillips, a pair of strikers who were key to Leeds' success.
The two sides have met several times before in the past. Leeds United won 3-2 at Molineux last season. They were down by two goals at one point, but fought back to win. This year, they will try to make Elland Road a fortress, and they will need that support to keep them in the Premier League. The club is already in the process of making changes to their squad, and the new manager will have a difficult task in selecting a team against Wolves.
As part of the Premier League's future plans, the top seventeen teams will remain for the 2022-23 season. Three promoted teams will return from the Championship after one, two or 23 years. In other words, the three new teams are expected to replace Burnley, Watford and Norwich City. Nevertheless, it is hard to predict who will be the next champion of English football.
A team featuring a young Belgian forward is a strong option for the Championship side. The club is willing to pay PS30 million for the Belgian, and if he signs, he could start the season for Leeds. Meanwhile, a forward who scored 17 goals for Wolves last season is the likely first choice in Leeds. He has had a troublesome preseason, but he is an exciting addition for the Yorkshire club.
