Crystal Palace are dangerously close to the Premier League relegation zone after seven matchdays. The Eagles have six points from seven matches and are only outside of the relegation zone due to goal difference.
On Sunday, Crystal Palace will host Leeds United at Selhurst Park in an early season six-point match. Leeds United started the season in fine form but have since cooled off. The Whites are winless in their last four matches in the league.

Leeds United took six points from the last 18 points on offer in the league. They were outscored 9-8 by the last six opponents and go into Sunday’s game after drawing nil-nil with Aston Villa last time out.
Crystal Palace also took six points from the last 18 points on offer in the division. Like Leeds United, Crystal Palace scored just eight goals and conceded nine times to their opponents.
Palace fell 2-1 to Chelsea in a London derby last weekend. The Eagles went up 1-0 early on but conceded twice to lose. The Eagles have four points from 12 at home this season.
Their last two home games ended without wins. The Eagles have scored five goals at home while conceding six times.
Leeds United are winless in three away games this season. The Whites lost their last two away fixtures in the league. Just four goals were scored by Leeds in their last three fixtures, as they conceded eight times on the road this season.
Jesse Marsch has four players on the injury list. Stuart Dallas, Archie Gray, and Luis Sinisterra are all three set to miss the fixture. Adam Forshaw is a doubt but could be passed fit for the fixture.
Patrick Vieira has six players on the injury list going into Sunday’s vital Premier League matches. Nathan Ferguson has a foot injury and will miss the game. Defender Joachim Andersen has a calf injury and will likely sit out the fixture.
Right-back Nathaniel Clyne is ruled out with an ankle injury, while Hack Butland won’t make the squad following a wrist injury. James McArthur has a groin injury that will keep him from playing. Full-back Chris Richards is also ruled out following a lower leg injury.
Leeds United took four points from six against Crystal Palace last season with a nil-nil draw at Selhurst Park and a 1-0 win at home. Sunday’s match should finish with under 2.5 goals as Palace and Leeds draw the fixture.
