    Leeds 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Nice from Stuart Dallas, who links up with Mateusz Klich on the right with a backheel and a one-two.

    The cross at the end isn't as good though and it's comfortable for Vicente Guaita.

    Marcus: I know Palace have several injuries, but they're there for the taking tonight with a defender on the left wing and a striker on the right wing. Leeds should tear them apart.

    CommonMan: I think Crystal Palace will definitely miss Zaha considering the fact that he is always a threat going forward.

    Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson speaking to Sky Sports: "Jean-Philippe Mateta is an unknown quantity as we haven't seen him yet. It is a great opportunity for him to show us what he can do.

    "I hope they [the Palace attackers] combine well and that when we do get the ball, we can play it into them and give us a chance to test the Leeds defence.

    "We had to work unbelievably hard that day [in the 4-1 win at Selhurst Park]. Now we are playing at Elland Road so I'm sure Leeds feel at home and even more convinced about their abilities."

  13. 'Without Zaha it's not the same threat'published at 19:35 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2021

    Leeds v Crystal Palace (20:00 GMT)

    BBC football expert

    Leeds are always a good watch but they will have to do better on their new pitch than they did against Everton.

    I heard it being described afterwards as 'looking like it had been treated with olive oil', which I thought was a great line - but as Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa said, his players were slipping and Everton's weren't.

    Leeds don't seem able to defend at the best of times but what might help them get a clean sheet this time is that Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha is out with a hamstring injury.

    Palace will play on the break like they usually do but, without Zaha, they just don't carry the same threat.

    Prediction: 2-0

    Leeds v Crystal Palace (20:00 GMT)

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson on the threat Leeds provide: "Most important of all is the athleticism, the amount of running the players are able to do.

    "The fact that they never seem to stop running and they have the ability as a result to flood players forward because they seem to be able to flood them back as well - that is without doubt a quality."

    Sulaimon Adelekan: Bamford has been consistently inconsistent this season. A goal or two will help his confidence and help me in getting points in my FPL.

    Leeds v Crystal Palace (20:00 GMT)

    Leeds United

    Leeds defender Luke Ayling speaking to LUTV: "[Palace have] got some really good players and us boys found that out at the start of the season when we got beat quite badly at their place, so we will be looking to put that right.

    "They have got a few injuries, but they've got some very good players to come in. They've been in the Premier League for a long time and built a good squad, so no matter what team they put out, it will be a good team."

    The last time the two sides met at Selhurst Park in November, Crystal Palace won 4-1.

    "The last match was a game that we look back on and there were a few things that happened, which maybe if they went differently, it could have been a different game," added Ayling.

  17. What form are they in ?published at 19:27 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2021

    Leeds v Crystal Palace (20:00 GMT)

    Leeds have lost four of their past six fixtures in all competitions, winning the other two.

    They have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their six competitive matches so far this calendar year.

    All three of Leeds' home wins have been against sides below them in the table.

    Palace have been beaten just twice in seven league fixtures, winning three times and drawing twice.

    Victory at Newcastle in midweek ended a four-match winless streak on the road.

  20. 'Everyone finds us entertaining'published at 19:23 Greenwich Mean Time 8 February 2021

    Leeds v Crystal Palace (20:00 GMT)

    Leeds United

    Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa said he would rather finish in the bottom half of the Premier League than compromise his style to be in the top 10.

    "The most important thing is how we play, which allows us to finish where [we end up] in the table," he said.

    "If you finish eighth by not playing well, for me that's worse than finishing 12th and playing well.

    "But it's also true by playing well it's easier to finish higher up the table. I hope we are able to play well and advance up the table.

    "Almost everyone finds us entertaining. There's those who find it entertaining to face a side who concede as many as we do.

    "Like all the other teams we choose to play in a certain style because we think it's what's going to bring us closer to winning.

    "If you take into account the form, the style, it brings you closer to the aspects that are most beautiful about the game, but the efficiency is the value we most look for."
