Preview

Match preview

Leeds welcome Crystal Palace to Elland Road looking to extend an unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign. Through their first four league outings, Leeds have collected eight points with two wins and two draws, scoring seven goals and showing consistent attacking output across every fixture.

Crystal Palace arrive in West Yorkshire experiencing a tougher start, sitting 16th with three points from four league matches. While the Eagles earned a 3-2 victory at Fulham, defensive issues have undermined them overall, having conceded eleven goals across four games and failing to keep a clean sheet.

Palace are also hampered by notable selection absences, missing goalkeeper Dean Henderson, defender Chadi Riad, suspended defender Axel Disasi, and forward Jean-Philippe Mateta. Leeds enter with strong momentum on home soil, having taken four points from their two home league fixtures while averaging 2.5 goals scored per game.
