Victory will lift Palace up to 10th if Fulham lose elsewhere, whilst Leeds will stay 15th with a win.

Stat Attack
- Palace have lost three of their last six meetings against Leeds (W2, D1, L3).
- Leeds are winless in their last seven league visits to Palace (D3, L4).
- Oliver Glasner’s Eagles are chasing consecutive league wins for the first time since early December 2025.
- Leeds are yet to win away in London this season (D2, L2).
Prediction
Having been held to a frustrating goalless draw in the dominant first leg of their tie against AEK Larnaca after a comeback win at Tottenham in their last domestic game beforehand, Palace really need to just stay focused and continue building their renewed momentum.
I however do wonder if they should put their eggs in the European basket now that league safety is pretty assured, but they at the same time aren’t totally mathematically safe yet so I do expect them to produce a strong display here.
Leeds meanwhile lacked clinical end product in their last two league matches so their FA Cup tie against Norwich was the ideal tonic to get back on track, but they now must bring that renewed confidence from the cup across into this league game because they are still on the fringes of the relegation scrap.
Both teams therefore will want the win for different reasons given that survival isn’t totally guaranteed, so a draw feels like a safe call, especially given that Palace have Jorgen Strand Larsen and Jean-Philippe Mateta as two swappable strong forwards who can trouble the opposition.
Prediction: Crystal Palace 1-1 Leeds
Result: Crystal Palace 0-0 Leeds
