Nuno Espirito Santo's team have earned only two points from their last three games and could see their lead to second placed Cardiff cut to three points if the Bluebirds beat Barnsley at home tonight.

Wolves lost 2-0 at Fulham last time out, with their game against Reading postponed at the weekend.

Coady said: "We’re going there full of confidence, we know what we’ve got to do, we’ve been working on it for the last week and hopefully we’ll come away with three points.

"All the lads are focused, the manager’s on at us every single day. We were disappointed we didn’t have the game on Saturday because we felt like we needed it – we wanted to put things right after the Fulham game.

"Everybody’s focused on what they’ve got to do, we’re looking forward to it. There’s 12 games to go and there’s 12 massive games for us going forward.

"We’re always confident, it’s a big part of how we play - we’re a confident team, we’ve done the same all season. There are good teams in this division and you’re going to lose some and going draw some, that’s the situation we’re in at the minute.

"What we’ve done quite well this season is bounce back from when that has happened – that’s what we need to do on Wednesday night.

"There are some great teams within this division, everybody is beating everybody. We’re just focused on what we’ve got to do on Wednesday night - we go into every single game wanting to get three points and that’s no different tomorrow.

"Leeds are a massive, massive club and they’ve had a management change in the last couple of weeks which has helped them."

Wolves are without the suspended Ruben Neves at Elland Road but the likes of Diogo Jota, Ivan Cavaleiro and Helder Costa are expected to feature.

Coady said the way their star players have 'bought into' the Championship has been a key part of how well Wolves have done so far this season.

"It’s been fantastic for the football club this season, the manager’s taken it to a different level," he added.

"I think the most important thing is that he’s brought everyone together in terms of the club. The players who he’s brought in have really wanted to be a part of it - they’ve come in, they’ve bought into everything that’s the Championship.

"A few of these players were playing in the Champions League last season, it’s amazing really. To bring those sorts of players in who want to be a part of this club and help this club was massive for us. The unity is really there and it’s helped us all season going forward to be honest."
