Crystal Palace visits Yorkshire on Saturday night for a rapid turnaround. Oliver Glasner’s team played in the Conference League on Thursday.
However, the manager made significant changes for that match to prioritize the upcoming Premier League game. Notably, Glasner has already announced his starting lineup for the match at Elland Road.
He confirmed that the 11 players who did not play in the European match will start here. Crystal Palace has been the top away team in the league in 2025 and aims to keep that title against a resurgent Leeds team.
