YOU WONT BELIEVE: Wolves burned by tactical ploy that s previously undone javi gracia s leeds united plans | Mind Blowing Facts

Problems arose for Leeds United at Chelsea as they went up against a back three which took Georginio Rutter out of the game and had their wide men in no man’s land. It was a tactical ploy Javi Gracia could not be sure of before trekking to Stamford Bridge, but there should not be the same problem this weekend.

Unlike Brighton & Hove Albion, Wolverhampton Wanderers have been partial to a back three in recent years. Julen Lopetegui tried a 3-4-3 in the EFL Cup once, but he has otherwise stuck with four defenders.

More recently, the Spaniard was burnt by his temptation to go back to three centre-halves. On Sunday at Newcastle United, with the match level at 1-1, Lopetegui replaced midfielder Joao Moutinho with centre-back Nathan Collins.
