Team News

Leeds
Crystal Palace
  • Patrick Bamford and Raphinha shook off knocks to start in their 2-1 defeat to Everton in midweek. Both actually combined for their only goal of the game.
  • Rodrigo and Ivan Poveda have been ruled out against Palace.
  • Wilfried Zaha is a major doubt for Crystal Palace after coming off early in their 2-1 win away to Newcastle in midweek. The good news for Roy Hodgson is they don't play until Monday so they have longer than normal for Zaha to recover. Nevertheless, it would be a surprise to see him feature here.
  • Michy Batshuayi failed to take advantage of a rare start in midweek but it was Christian Benteke and not January signing Jean-Philippe Mateta that came on against Newcastle. Mateta didn't even make it off the bench suggesting a full debut is unlikely here.
  • Jairo Riedewald celebrated his winning goal with a new long-term deal in midweek and will hope to keep his place in the side here.
  • Scott Dann and Cheikhou Kouyaté are in contention to partner Gary Cahill in defence against Leeds.

Prediction

  • Leeds have picked up 18 of their 29 points on the road this season so the fact they face Crystal Palace at home is not necessarily a good thing.
  • Crystal Palace have won back-to-back Premier League matches, as many as their previous 12 combined. They turned Leeds over 4-1 in the reverse meeting.
  • Leeds welcome Palace to Elland Road for the first time since 2012. They have actually won each of the previous four home meetings against Palace. The absence of Zaha for Palace will make it difficult for the away side to come away with a positive result here.
