MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Leeds have won five successive home league matches against Crystal Palace - last losing to them at Elland Road in March 2006.
The Whites have also won four of the past six meetings in the Premier League.
Leeds United
Leeds have only won a solitary home league match so far this season (D3, L2).
They have averaged just a goal per game in those six fixtures.
Marcelo Bielsa's side are yet to score more than two goals in a league game this season - a feat they managed 10 times in 2020-21.
The Whites have committed 154 fouls in the Premier League this season, second only to Watford.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace lost for the first time in eight matches last time out against Aston Villa (W2, D5).
The Eagles are unbeaten in their last three away games in the Premier League (W1, D2).
They have scored in eight successive league fixtures.
Palace have won just one of their 12 matches in the Premier League played on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday (D4, L7).
Patrick Vieira's side have conceded a league-high eight goals from corners so far this season.
Christian Benteke has scored 12 Premier League goals on a Tuesday - only Alan Shearer, with 15, and Wayne Rooney, with 13, have managed more.
So from seagulls to eagles it is then with Palace sitting in 11th place and us languishing in the doldrums .
Desperately need the Real Leeds United to show up and give the Fans something to really sing about, Cmon Leeds 2-0 Raph and (hopefully ) Joffy

We’re on the up lads. Palace are a decent team and 3pts is a real achievement. Back-to-back wins a definite possibility

I see I disagree with Lowfields. I take that as a good sign my opinion is the right one.

Verily, Lowbrow, Thou Art A !
We played some good football against a capable Palace team, matched them in all areas and bettered them in some, and thanks to bit of luck / goalkeeping excellence ( take your pick ) acquired three points which eases our relegation zone worries considerably. I have a feeling that we'll exceed expectations in our upcoming games against ' the big boys '. I fancy our chances of beating Brentford, we're building a good mix of seasoned pros, rising stars and eager, talented youngsters.
My visits to Elland Road now are rare, because it's a round trip of 756 miles, but on one of my last forays I was in the Upper West watching us play either Forest or Bristol City , guess the crowd was 15-20,000. There was a bloke a couple of rows behind us who kept up a dreary, irritating barracking of our players. He was about my age, I think, so will probably have been going to ER as a lad in the Revie era. Nothing was good enough for this pillock, they weren't Sprake Reaney Cooper Bremner Charlton Hunter Lorimer Jone Giles Gray and weren't League Champions, so he felt he had every right to sneer and belittle our lads, loudly and persistently
Was that bloke you, Lowfields?

Was at the game today, and honestly feel knackered after it. Felt like I played. Though I suspect if I had played then I'd probably be dead.
