Leeds United come into the game having picked up a point in a 0-0 draw at Brighton and Hove Albion on the weekend.
In truth, Brighton were much the better team and deserved to take maximum points from the game but Leeds United will be pleased to have come away from a tough fixture with a draw.
However, that result means Leeds United have failed to win any of their last 3 Premier League matches. They were held at home by Leicester City in a 1-1 draw and lost 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur, a game in which they took the lead.
Home form in the Premier League shows Leeds United are undefeated in their 3 most recent fixtures. Victories have been difficult to come by when playing at home in the Premier League and Leeds United have recorded just one win from their 6 home league matches this season.
Trends show there have been under 2.5 goals scored in Leeds United’s last 3 home games but both teams have scored in 3 of their last 4 at Elland Road.
Crystal Palace make the trip north having lost 2-1 at home against Aston Villa. The away team opened the scoring after only 15 minutes and doubled their advantage late in the game. Crystal Palace did manage a goal themselves but it came too late to have any impact on the result.
It was a disappointing defeat for The Eagles and ends an undefeated run of 7 matches in the Premier League. During that run of games, Crystal Palace picked up two victories, one of which was an excellent 2-0 win at Manchester City.
Away form in the Premier League shows Crystal Palace are undefeated in their last 3 games on the road. In addition to the victory over Manchester City, Crystal Palace have picked up a point at Burnley and Arsenal.
Trends show there have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Crystal Palace's last 6 away league games and both teams have scored in 3 of their last 5 away league fixtures.
Team news and Leeds United continue without the injured duo of Patrick Bamford and Robin Koch. Luke Ayling is a doubt as he recovers from a knee injury.
Crystal Palace travel without Joachim Andersen and James McArthur who are both struggling with a hamstring injury. Nathan Ferguson is a doubt due to an Achilles tendon problem.
This should be an entertaining match and we expect to see both teams find the back of the net. The teams are undefeated in their last 3 games home and away respectively and that means this one could end level.
