Leeds United vs Crystal Palace Preview, prediction, team news, lineups | Premier League 2026-27

The Eagles failed to defeat the Whites last season!

Leeds United will go head-to-head against Crystal Palace for their fifth matchweek contest of the English Premier League 2026-27 campaign. These sides can produce an entertaining outing, taking place at Elland Road.

The Daniel Farke-led side are coming off their dominant 4-1 victory against Newcastle United in the last league clash. This also marks their second win in the English top division this season. Leeds United will be looking to use this momentum to their advantage.

The Whites are going to be the hosts for their next fixture. This will be an added boost for them.

Crystal Palace are not doing well at all in their Premier League 2026-27 campaign. They have only managed one win and have faced three losses. The Eagles are coming in after a 4-0 win against Lech Poznan in their UEFA Europa League fixture.

They will be eager to secure a win in the league now. Being away from home can put Pierre Sage’s men under pressure. They might even drop points once again.
