On Saturday, Crystal Palace receives Leeds on the occasion of the 8th day of the Premier League. The two teams want to win to integrate the first part of the table.
Crystal Palace is currently 13th in the Premier League with 10 points in the bag. Authors of a good start, Wilfried Zaha’s partners won their first 2 matches. Less to their advantage since, they have won only once, for 3 losses and 1 draw. After winning at the promoted Fulham (1-2), Palace lost on Wolverhampton’s lawn last Friday (2-0).
Winner of the Championship last year, Leeds are back in the elite this season. The North of England team is the promoted ones who are doing better so far. Marcelo Bielsa’s men are in 12th place in the Premier League with a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. Victorious on the lawn of an attractive formation of Aston Villa (0-3), they fell, at home, against Leicester last Monday, thus showing logical gaps for a promoted.
The Crystal Palace coach will not be able to count on rookie Ferguson, potential holders Ward, Mitchell and Tomkins and substitutes Hennessey and Wickham. In addition, expelled last weekend, the midfielder and captain Milivojevic is suspended. More to his advantage than last season, the English international Wilfried Zaha has already found the net 5 times since the start of the championship (4 last year).
Leeds are deprived of Spanish rookies Rodrygo (ill) and Llorente, England international Philips and substitutes Berardi and Forshaw (injured). Holder at the forefront of the attack since the start of the season, Patrick Bamford (6 goals in the league) displays good dispositions and should be renewed this weekend.
This meeting will be played behind closed doors.
At home, Crystal Palace can at least take a point against the promoted Leeds who are deprived of a few players. Crystal Palace victory or draw!
