Leeds United will host Crystal Palace at Elland Road on Saturday night, aiming to build on their strong recent performance.
Daniel Farke’s team is unbeaten in their last three matches, boosting their chances of survival. They have shown a renewed scoring ability, netting three goals in each of their last two home games. With Crystal Palace having played in Europe on Thursday, Leeds hopes their freshness will give them an advantage in front of a lively home crowd.
Farke announced that the squad remains unchanged from their draw with Brentford. There are no new injury updates, although a few players remain out. Lukas Nmecha is sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Daniel James and Sean Longstaff are unavailable until 2026. Consequently, the manager will likely continue with the successful 3-5-2 formation.
In attack, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been a standout player, scoring in four straight games. He will be joined by Noah Okafor. In midfield, Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka will bring energy, while Jayden Bogle and Johann Berg Guðmundsson will act as wing-backs.
Predicted XI for Leeds United: Perri; Struijk, Rodon, Bijol; Bogle, Stach, Tanaka, Ampadu, Guðmundsson; Okafor, Calvert-Lewin
The Premier League match is set for Saturday, 20 December 2025, with kick-off at 8:00 pm GMT.
Viewers in the UK can watch the match live on TNT Sports 1 and TNT Sports Ultimate, starting at 7:00 pm GMT.
