Leeds United

Crystal Palace-Leeds United

Palace take on Leeds.

Still reeling after getting beat 2-1 by Chelsea in their last Premier League match, Palace will have their work cut out against a Leeds team that drew Villa 0-0 in their previous outing. Considering the previous league match between these two teams ended 0-0, it's probable the Eagles won't get much love out of the Whites. Premier League meetings between these two have been up for grabs. Over their last ten fixtures, Palace have three victories to Leeds' five.

Palace | LDDLW | 17th | Top Scorer: W. Zaha (4)

Palace's poor form can be seen in the table. They have dropped down to 17th. Palace have a low xG (expected goals) and have had few opportunities to score. Their average xG of 1.2 over the last 5 matches has been 10th lowest in the league. Following recent struggles, Wilfried Zaha will look to find the back of the net. He's been their top shot-taker this season with 16 shots (20th in the EPL). Fans should keep hope, top aggressor Cheick Doucouré has played well, recording 2.4 tackles per match in their last 5.

Leeds | DLDLW | 12th | Top Scorer: Rodrigo (4)

Problems persist at Leeds and due to recent bad results, they've dropped down to 12th in the table. Their issues have not been on the scoring side. Their average xG (expected goals) of 1.5 is 8th highest in the league. Following on from recent setbacks, Rodrigo will be hoping he can continue to threaten the opposition goal. With 22 shots so far this season, he's had the most efforts for Leeds. Jack Harrison is one more player to keep an eye on. He has been their top setup man this season with 3 assists (4th in the EPL).

Prediction: Palace 2-1 Leeds

This game is in the balance, yet Palace's dangerous frontmen appear as if they will make the difference.
