Teams Preview
Leeds United Preview
Leeds United finally secured their first home league win of the season last time out, dismantling Newcastle United 4-1. After letting winning positions slip in previous games, the Whites made sure there was no repeat, racing into a 3-0 lead before finishing the job. The result also made Leeds the only home side to win on MD4.
An own goal opened the scoring before Jayden Bogle, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor completed the rout. The victory extended Leeds’ unbeaten start to four games (W2 D2), their best beginning to a top-flight campaign since 2001-02 under David O’Leary.
Calvert-Lewin could also make history against Palace, with the striker chasing a sixth consecutive home league game with a goal, a feat last achieved by Arthur Hydes in 1932.
Since last December, only Erling Haaland, Ollie Watkins and Joao Pedro have scored more than Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 14 top-flight goals.
Leeds have lost just one of their last 13 Premier League matches.
The Whites have scored at least a goal in their last nine games in all competitions against Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace Preview
