Premier League – Match-day 34: Crystal Palace v Leeds United
This Monday sees Palace go head to head with Leeds at Selhurst Park – Kick-off 9:00pm GMT.
Monday’s clash at Selhurst Park- sees sixteenth placed Leeds, travel to thirteenth-placed Palace in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace’s campaign so far has seen them accrue 37 points this season
It was a humbling defeat at the hands of Leicester City for Patrick Vieira’s men in their last match, they will be hoping to get something out of this game for sure.
Also, Palace’s success this season will ultimately depend on their ability to break the habit of not winning, as they failed to secure a win in 15 of their last 20 games. With 37 points, they currently sit thirteenth in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 8 wins, 11 losses and 13 draws having won eight fixtures, drawn 13 meetings, and lost 11 games.
When Palace host Leeds, they will do so on the back of five wins, seven draws, and four defeats on their own ground.
A win in this fixture, would take Crystal Palace’s points from 37 to 40, so far this season.
It is likely that three key players will miss Monday’s fixture, which is something of a concern for Patrick Vieira and his Palace team.
With the Premier League season well into its stride, Leeds United have managed to gain 33 points
It was three points secured for Leeds in their last fixture, beating Watford 0-3 at Vicarage Road.
Also, league success is all about winning football matches, any way you can, so 10 losses in 17 matches would not make this a successful season for Leeds. With a sixteenth position in the league and 8 wins, 15 losses and 9 draws, they currently have 33 points in the League having won eight meetings, drawn nine meetings, and lost 15 games.
It must be a worrying prospect for Leeds to go back on the road, with a bud run of away performances under their belt this season. So far they have only secured four victories, four darts, and eight losses to the home team.
A victory for Leeds United would put them on 36 points.
Leeds’s squad will likely be depleted of five of their key players when they start on Monday, due to injury or illness.
