Our Prediction Tip

Leeds United will win this match.

In their first Premier League meeting since January 1998, and first at any level since 2013, Crystal Palace were in dominant form at Selhurst Park when they met in November. Scott Dann and Eberechi Eze put Palace 2-0 up and, after Patrick Bamford pulled a goal back, Helder Costa’s own goal and a Jordan Ayew strike sealed a 4-1 win.

Leeds' uptick in form ended last time out, whereas Palace go into this game on the back of consecutive wins. Neither side has defended well, however, and there could be a few goals in this one – and Leeds will hope home advantage can lift them back into the top half of the table.
Both sides feature among the worst defences in the Premier League this season. Palace have conceded 37 and only West Brom have conceded more than Leeds' 38.

In a mid-table Premier League battle, Leeds United host Crystal Palace at Elland Road as both teams look to take the opportunity to jump into the top-half of the table. Marcelo Bielsa’s 11th-placed Leeds are also looking to avenge their heavy defeat to Palace, who now sit 13th but level on points with their hosts, from earlier in the season. The reverse fixture takes place on February 8 and the live action starts at 20:00 local time.
