United boss Kevin Blackwell is confident Leeds can bounce back from last weekend's shock home defeat by picking up another win on the road against Wolves at Molineux.
Blackwell insists that after wins at places like Norwich, Southampton and Burnley, they will hold no fears taking on Glenn Hoddle's side.
"We want to be strong and solid but we will go there looking for a win," said Kevin.
"I don't think there's any point sitting back and looking for a point because we've done well on our travels this year and we always feel that this year in particular we are always in with a great chance of winning games. We are travelling with confidence knowing we can get results.
"There's about four games in this division that are Premier League games and this is one of them.
"But I have looked forward to all the games this season because we have worked to be where we are and we are not near the top of the table because we are a bad team, we're up there because we have been fairly consistent at getting results."
Wolves have the second best home defensive record in the league having conceded just seven this season, whilst United have the second best defensive record on the road with nine goals against.
Blackwell believes something is bound to break when the two go head to head.
He said:"At the moment they have one of the best defensive record at home and we have a good defensive record away from home - so that all adds up to a high scoring feast! It's sod's law, you can almost guarantee it."
Despite last week's defeat at Elland Road against Cardiff, Blackwell is remaining calm and confident the team are still doing things the right way.
"We have to look at the season as a whole and we are moving in the right direction, so let's not go overboard about one result.
"They are an honest set of lads and if they perform to the same level as they have done in the first half of the season then we will finish in the play-offs."
