Leeds vs. Crystal Palace EPL Preview

Whites Setting Sights on European Spots

Daniel Farke will take huge confidence from the start to the season that his Leeds United side have enjoyed. The Whites have avoided defeat in their opening four fixtures, and huge momentum would have been gained following an electric 4-1 win over Newcastle on Monday.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has hit top form in recent weeks, registering four goal involvements in his previous five appearances. James Trafford has also proven to be an inspired signing, ensuring a calming influence in between the sticks.

That has been reflected by the fact that the Whites have failed to concede more than once in five of their six fixtures this term. Harry Wilson could be fit enough to be recalled on Sunday, while Noah Okafor could drop out of the starting eleven.

Likely Lineup:

(3-5-2) Trafford (GK); Justin, Muharemovic, Elvedi; Bogle, Stach, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson; Calvert-Lewin, Wilson

Palace Struggling For Consistency Under Sage

Pierre Sage has endured a frustrating start to life at Selhurst Park, as Crystal Palace have failed to build momentum this term.

The Eagles landed a first league win of the season in their previous away fixture against Fulham, which ended a two-game losing run. However, a below par showing last weekend saw them beaten 3-2 by Ipswich. Defensively, the Eagles have been weak this term, allowing at least two goals in four EPL outings.

Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta are unlikely to make their respective returns this weekend. Therefore, there will be pressure on Jorgen Strand Larsen to lead the line after scoring in successive fixtures in all competitions. Axel Disasi misses out due to suspension.

Likely Lineup:

(3-4-2-1) Henderson (GK); Richards, Ahanor, Lerma; Khalaily, Timber, Wharton, Mitchell; Kamada, Pino; Larsen

Head-to-Head Stats

• Leeds have avoided defeat in eight of their last eleven home matches against Crystal Palace.
• Crystal Palace have won two of the last four Premier League meetings between the sides.
• Over 4.5 goals have been scored in two of the previous three encounters.

Leeds vs. Crystal Palace EPL Betting Picks

Leeds have been in excellent form since mid-December, with Farke’s decision to switch to a back three seeing only Arsenal and Man City pick up more league points since late last year. Their home form is incredibly eye-catching already this season, and they should be primed to build on their recent dominant showing against Newcastle with a ninth win in 12 matches against Palace at Elland Road.

• Leeds (-127)
