David: This team under Daniel Farke look very impressive. The number of Leeds fans against Farke have increasingly fallen silent and realised their mistake. Leeds can build on this and be taking part in the battle for Europe next season rather than the battle for relegation.
Andrew: This was the most uncomfortable 3-0 win you could wish for! After a great start to the game, Leeds were dragged into a very scrappy game. But it's the points that matter at this stage and we are nearly there. Roll on Bournemouth, then to Wembley.
Chris: It's finally paying off on a number of fronts. Leeds are getting the results that match the intensity they're bringing to the game. Noah Okafor has hit real form showing us what he can do. And Dominic Calvert-Lewin is having the season of his career. Bring on Chelsea at Wembley! Another trophy this season?
John: It wasn't fantastic, but it was a necessary confident and disciplined performance, from which one can only be satisfied that we will be staying in the Premier League.
Wolves fans
Wol: Another terrible performance away in front of us loyal fans. No passion or fight from the players. No quality in the final third again. Let us get to the end of the season and see what next season brings. Hopefully a major shake-up throughout the club and better dealings in the transfer market.
Simon: Rob Edwards, it's not worked and there is little hope it will work next season. There is no identity and no clear tactics. Crossing the ball into the box and playing a long ball constantly when you have the smallest player up front is akin to pub football methodology. See out the season and take a break from management, allow Wolves to get a manager in with a clear system and approach and enough of a profile to help recruit players.
Chris: I can't see any signs of improvement which give me hope for next season. I don't think Edwards is the man.
Rory: Wolves played OK, but going down 2-0 made it an uphill battle for them. A great save from Karl Darlow meant it was never going to be Wolves' day.

Leeds, Forest, West Ham or Spurs - who will be relegated?
There were jubilant scenes at Elland Road at the full-time whistle.
Victory over Wolves, hot on the heels of a famous 2-1 win at Manchester United, had moved Leeds nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Tottenham's draw with Brighton cut that to eight points, but with just five games of the season remaining, a place in the Premier League next term is now, surely, within touching distance for the West Yorkshire club.
While no fan will be completely relaxed until safety is mathematically secure, history suggests Leeds can be confident in planning for another season in the top flight.
They would claim an unwanted record were they to go down because no team has ever been relegated after taking 39 or more points from their first 33 games of a 38-game Premier League season.
Victory over Wolves takes them past the current record of Birmingham, who had 38 points at this stage of the 2010-11 season, and were relegated.
In fact, even if Leeds did not claim another point they could consider themselves unfortunate to go down given only six have ever been relegated with 39 points or more in a 38-game season.
After back-to-back wins and four league games unbeaten, Farke's men are the team in form, while Tottenham have not won a league game in 2026 and only two since 26 October.
Leeds also appear to have, on paper, the most favourable remaining fixtures with a home match against a Burnley team who may already have had relegation confirmed before travelling to Elland Road on 1 May.
Trips to Tottenham and West Ham, on the final day of the season, follow and given the buffer they have to their relegation rivals, avoiding defeat would likely represent a win for the Whites.

Still need more points for safety - Farke
Leeds boss Daniel Farke, speaking to Match of the Day: "Very well done. No doubt it was fully deserved. A fantastic first half. It was important to protect the clean sheet. Overall, I am very proud of my lads because, after such a historical win at Old Trafford, we made it look relatively easy and, for that, a big compliment to my players.
"It was important to calm the nerves of the stadium down because expectations were high after such a big win. Sometimes the stadium can get nervous and we started strong."
On a first back-to-back win in the Premier League: "It was a point we wanted to prove. We have won games but not back-to-back officially in the Premier League. Back-to-back wins are important for climbing up the table and achieving your goals."
On if he thinks his team are safe from relegation: "I expect that the other teams will also win points. It is good that we edge closer to the points we need to achieve our goals. I still think we need to stay with foot on the gas and keep going because there are strong teams behind us that will try and chase us down."
On how much he is enjoying his job: "If you want to be manager of Leeds you have to be ready for lots of pressure, lots of expectation and lots of noise. You need to stay calm and always focus on the moment when you are successful, always be switched on because there is some fear around the corner.
"You need to make sure you are always there with good leadership and lead the group and supporters. For that, I can't allow myself to be over-confident. Perhaps in the summer break, but now I am focused on the here and now. It's definitely a good feeling."
Leeds goalscorer James Justin, speaking to Sky Sports on whether this feels like a defining week: "Yeah, definitely. It's crunch time. We put two good wins back-to-back for the first time this season. What a time to do it. It gives us a bit of a buffer and it's looking good."
On the fast start: "We knew we couldn't wait for the crowd to pick us up, we had to pick the crowd up. After the win the other night, we knew the expectation was to come back home and win again. We had to put our foot on the gas from minute one.
On his acrobatic goal: "When the ball was in the air I just thought, 'Why not?' I had no idea where it was going, but luckily, it went in, so I'm really happy."
On whether it feels like this is enough for safety: "It's not over until it's over. We're on a good points total, but until we are mathematically safe we will still work hard until the end."
Did you know?
Leeds United's victory this afternoon takes them to 39 points after 33 Premier League matches played. No team has ever gone on to be relegated from the Premier League after amassing 39+ points at this stage of a 38-game Premier League campaign.
James Justin scored his first home goal in the Premier League since netting against Burnley for Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in September 2020, ending a run of 55 home matches in the competition without a goal. Prior to today, each of his last four goals in the competition had been scored on the road.

Just as they did at Old Trafford on Monday, Leeds came flying out of the blocks and could have been ahead inside the first minute as Noah Okafor burst through and played in Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who was denied by Wolves keeper Dan Bentley.
The hosts were more than worthy of their lead by the time the goal did arrive, with Bentley making a fine save to deny Ethan Ampadu from point-blank range moments before he was beaten by James Justin's bicycle kick.
Okafor's seventh league goal of the campaign - and third in two matches - made the scoreline more reflective of the game to that point.
But the enjoyable afternoon watching their side torment their lowly visitors that Leeds fans might have envisaged at that point did not transpire.
Should they go on to complete the job and secure their Premier League status for next season, it is not the sloppiness that exemplified their second-half showing that will be remembered.
Instead, it will be the manner in which they pressed with such ferocity at Manchester United and the way they replicated that, if only for 20 minutes, against Wolves to take themselves within touching distance of safety.
The manner in which manager Daniel Farke celebrated with the crowd at full-time suggests he has an inkling they may already have done enough - another positive result at Bournemouth in midweek would make absolutely sure.
That is what comes next, but if chants of "Wembley, Wembley" from the Leeds faithful in the closing stages are anything to go by, the fans are already looking ahead to next Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea and the prospect of a glorious end to the campaign.

Leeds United v Wolverhampton Wanderers: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 19:03 BST 17 April
19:03 BST 17 April
Chris Adams BBC Sport journalist
Buoyed by their surprise victory at Old Trafford earlier in the week, Leeds United return to home soil on Saturday (15:00 GMT) to face bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers, who could be relegated to the Championship by Monday night if a combination of results go against them.
Okafor hits form at the right time
Daniel Farke's side were outstanding in the first half against Manchester United on Monday night, laying the foundations for just a second league win in 10 outings. The challenge now is whether they can they follow up their 2-1 victory with another three points to ease their own relegation fears.
The Whites, who sit 15th – six points clear of the relegation zone with six games to play – are looking to win back-to-back Premier League games for the first time this season. They are the only club in the division yet to do so.
Noah Okafor's first-half brace on Monday means he has scored four goals in his last four league games, taking his tally for the season to six. He also netted in the reverse fixture, a 3-1 win for Leeds at Molineux in September.
Only two Swiss players have scored more in a single campaign in England's top tier: Xherdan Shaqiri with eight for Stoke City (2017-18), and Granit Xhaka with seven for Arsenal (2022-23).
Leeds could do with a similar performance at Elland Road on Saturday, where they have failed to score in four of their last five league games, including the last three in a row. The only time the Whites have ever gone four home league games without scoring was in February-March 1982 under Allan Clarke in the old First Division.
Wolves on their last legs
Wolverhampton Wanderers have known for some time now that relegation is likely – they've been bottom of the table for each of their past 29 games – but this is the first matchweek in which it can be confirmed.
Wolves' fate will be sealed if they lose to Leeds and Tottenham Hotspur beat Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday or West Ham United take at least a point in their Monday night game at Crystal Palace.
Even if Wolves were to pick up a point in West Yorkshire, they could still go down if West Ham win and Nottingham Forest avoid defeat against second-bottom Burnley.
Head coach Rob Edwards is to be commended for his efforts since he was appointed in November – the Old Gold have won 15 of their 17 points since the former Wales international took charge – but he is the new owner of an unwanted Premier League record.
Among the 130 coaches to have managed 50 or more games in the competition, ex-Luton Town boss Edwards has the lowest win percentage, with just nine victories in 59 matches (15.3%).
He also has the lowest points per game ratio (0.69) and is the only manager to see his sides ship at least two goals per game - 118 goals in 59 games, exactly two per match.
Three points for Wolves would stave off relegation for at least another week, but unfortunately for those hardy fans making the trip from the Black Country their team haven't won a single league game on the road this season.
Sutton's predictions: Leeds v Wolvespublished at 18:28 BST 17 April
18:28 BST 17 April
Let's get it right, Leeds could have beaten Manchester United by a much bigger margin than 2-1 on Monday night.
I had Dominic Calvert-Lewin in my Fantasy team and he should have scored a couple, while it took a brilliant goalline tackle from Lisandro Martinez to deny Ao Tanaka.
Wolves were competitive against West Ham, at least until they conceded anyway, but I can't see past another Leeds win here. There is a nice balance to Daniel Farke's side.
This one might be a little bit nervy but I think they will get over the line. If they do, they will be on 39 points which should be enough to keep them up.

16:47 BST 17 April
Leeds goalkeeper Karl Darlow says "nothing is done yet" as the Whites prepare to face Wolves in the Premier League on Saturday (15:00 BST).
Daniel Farke's side moved six points clear of the relegation zone after Monday's 2-1 victory at Manchester United.
Darlow told BBC Radio Leeds: "We know we need to be straight back at it on Saturday - that's the mentality to have. We know nothing is done yet, we've not achieved anything yet.
"We had a really special night on Monday which we have enjoyed for a couple of days, now it's business time again."
On his own return to the side, he added: "I'm just enjoying it. Coming back into the team was always my goal when I was left out early on in the season, it was something that I stuck at and that I want to maintain."

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Wolves at Elland Road (15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Farke confirmed all the players who were fit for Monday's win at Manchester United are "at least today ready for Wolves".
On Joe Rodon, Anton Stach and Dan James, he added: "The first step is team training and today no-one is back in team training but we have two days, we can always have a surprise".
Reflecting on the big win at Old Trafford, Farke said: "We are pretty proud. We know how much it means to our fans. It was great to send them back with such an amazing win but as a group we have put a line under it. One of the highlights of the season. To be able to win but the manner of the performance too. We were aware how much this game means to our supporters."
He was asked about Noah Okafor, who scored twice against Manchester United, and rumours of a poor attitude before he signed in the summer: "No surprise he's got back into the Swiss squad. There was rumours before he signed but I can't say I've had that at all. He's improved and learned."
On Ao Tanaka's impressive recent displays: "Pretty happy with Ao's recent performances. Was good in the cup game and backed it up on Monday. We were always convinced he could deliver. He's not that young any more. It's his first season in top flight so he needed time to adapt and find consistency."
On Saturday's bottom-placed opponents: "I'm full of respect. When expectations are high, these are the most difficult games. If you look at their recent performances there is no reason not to be humble. Only disappointing result in recent months was last week's loss [against West Ham]."
On Jaka Bijol: "Jaka is a fantastic human being. He had a difficult period and had to wait after injury. He gave the penalty away versus Chelsea, but how he deals with setbacks - he stays focused and professional. He has a natural order to be a leader of men, always team before himself. Very important player, even if we had to wait. All happy with him. First season, still room to improve, but we're happy with him."

'He's earned chance to take us onwards and upwards' - fan views on Farkepublished at 16:33 BST 15 April

We asked for your views on Leeds manager Daniel Farke, after Kaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix assessed his time at the club on BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast.
Here are some of your comments:
Ian: I agree with Mr Rix. Farke has done well in the Premier League with basically a Championship team and think he's earned the chance to take us onwards and upwards.
Paul: Give him the cash in the summer after we stay up and we can start to fly!
Martin: Farke's credit should, in my view, stretch back to the moment he started at Leeds and how he helped to steady a significantly unstable ship. The work he did to pull together a squad when so many players jumped ship with loan clauses and sales after relegation. They were tough times and he's brought the club a long way.
Tony: Farke is doing a great job on a limited budget. He has a relatively small squad and has got the best from the majority of players. If (when!) we stay up, he should stay. He's deserved it.
Andrew: I am 100% behind supporting Farke next season - a humble, passionate leader who deserves a chance to try to build a squad and team that will result in Leeds spending many happy years in the Premier League.
Marcus: Farke definitely has credit in the bank but I'm not sure us fans think he's good enough to take us further even if we stay up. Far too many tactical and substitution errors, and we still keep conceding very late goals which cost us points, which hasn't changed from pretty much the start of the season. I like him a lot but if we stay up we need someone new.
Richard: Reasonably fair. I feel he underuses his full squad and doesn't know how to kill off teams. We draw too many where wins were possible. If he keeps us up he has done his job, but maybe someone else is needed to take us up the table. I wouldn't want anyone to be sacked but trying to get to the next level under Farke might be too much of an experiment. He has no previous form for doing that in a top league.
Farke 'bringing very good times to Leeds' - have your say on bosspublished at 12:06 BST 15 April

Kaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix says Daniel Farke has built up "loads of credit in the bank" since joining Leeds United in July 2023, adding that the Whites boss has worked hard to build "a great bond" with the supporters.
Farke has guided Leeds to an FA Cup semi-final and, as a result of Monday's win at Manchester United, they are well-placed to survive in the Premier League.
Speaking on BBC Radio Leeds' Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast, Rix said: "He has inspired performances a couple of times this season. He has occasionally pulled a different little thing out of the bag which has worked.
"He is bringing very good times to Leeds. His first season was very difficult, his second season saw us get promoted with 100 points, and even when we were questioning whether he was the right guy for the job this season, he took it on board.
"We gave him the tools to get out of the Championship and he did that. He hasn't been given the tools to take the club to 10th in the Premier League, but he has been given the tools for a 15th to 17th-place finish and he is very steadily doing it.
"The question in my head now is if we gave him a really good team, is he going to be the guy to take us up to the next level?
"I really think he just gets this club. For example, he was talking about wanting to disprove the 'Leeds are falling apart again' thing so he knows all the chants and all the noise.
"He constantly shows that he gets the fans and he has a great bond with them, which is so important. It helps the team, gives everyone confidence and gels everything together.
"It has also been a while since this club has had a manager who has stayed for a long time. We wanted someone who we could get behind and genuinely create a bit of history with. For me, he has loads of credit in the bank."
