THE PREDICTION
Crystal Palace made it two successive Premier League victories after beating Newcastle 1-2 at St James’ Park in midweek. However, less encouraging was the fact that they lost key player Wilfried Zaha in the second half due to injury. Whilst they managed to see out the game without him providing his usual attacking outlet on the counter attack, should the Ivorian be absent for this match it would prove a crushing blow with Palace a notoriously weaker side without him. Leeds meanwhile, need to find some form at Elland Road after losing 1-2 to Everton last time out, a second successive home league defeat for Marcelo Bielsa’s side. The Whites were comprehensively beaten by Crystal Palace in the reverse fixture between these two teams earlier in the season, however the potential absence of Zaha will likely prove the difference in this match. Leeds draw no bet looks the shrewd option here, but make sure to wait for the starting line-ups to be released before committing.
