Leeds United Preview – Will the Whites secure a rare league win?
Leeds United had a sensational first season back in the Premier League last year, but Marcelo Bielsa’s boys have struggled so far this term. Leeds are down in 17th place with just 12 points to their name. United have won two, drawn six and lost five of their opening 13.
Leeds head into this one having won just one of their last seven in all competitions. Since a 2-1 victory at Norwich City on 31st October, United have taken two points from a possible nine. Last time out, though, they did hold Brighton & Hove Albion to a goalless draw at the Amex Stadium.
Leeds will be desperate for maximum points from this one. Bielsa’s troops are priced at 7/5 to get a home win on Tuesday.
Crystal Palace Preview – Can the Eagles bounce back from the Villa defeat?
Patrick Vieira has made a positive impact at Crystal Palace so far. They were beaten at home by Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa last weekend, but the Eagles have generally been tough to beat this term. Only Villa, Chelsea and Liverpool have seen them off in league action.
Ahead of the weekend’s loss, Palace were unbeaten in seven in the Premier League. Before a 3-3 draw with Burnley, the London side had sealed impressive back-to-back wins over Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
