Crystal Palace's Premier League Champion: Eagles Defeat Leeds, Closer to Palace Triumph!
Crystal Palace predicted XI vs Leeds: Eagles seek revenge after Elland Road thrashing Crystal Palace welcome Leeds United to Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue their recent climb up the Premier League table. The Eagles have picked up three wins from their last five league games and could push into the top half with another victory. Meanwhile, Leeds arrive in south London desperate to halt a four-match winless run that has dragged them back into the relegation picture.
Palace will also be seeking revenge after a heavy defeat in the reverse fixture earlier this season, setting up an intriguing clash. Match preview Palace have improved in recent weeks after a miserable run. Three key wins have helped Oliver Glasner’s men move 10 points clear of the relegation zone with nine matches remaining.
However, Thursday’s goalless draw with AEK Larnaca in the UEFA Conference League means the Eagles face a quick turnaround before Sunday’s clash. Glasner will need to balance freshness with momentum as Palace aim to maintain their recent progress. Leeds travel to the capital after a mixed run of results.
Daniel Farke’s side showed their attacking prowess in the 4-1 win over Palace in December. Unfortunately, they have struggled to turn performances into victories in recent weeks. Much of their threat continues to come from striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has a solid scoring record against Palace and remains a focal point for Leeds’ direct style.
Midfielder Adam Wharton has already warned his side to expect another physical battle , with Leeds particularly dangerous from set-pieces. Match stats Palace are unbeaten in their last seven home league games against Leeds (W4, D3). Leeds are winless in their last 11 league away games against London sides (D2, L9).
