Crystal Palace’s revival in the Premier League suffered another blow in their last match as they lost 2-0 at Wolves and in the eighth round, they will be looking to rise again when they host Leeds United. Ahead of this clash, the two sides are tied on 10 points with Leeds staying 12th on goal difference as Palace are 13th. After two back to back losses to Everton and Chelsea, Palace found their footing in a draw with Brighton and a win over Fulham but they were stopped by Wolves in their most recent outing. As a result, they head to this game with three losses in the last five matches and with just one clean sheet in the league this season. None of their last six league matches has produced a clean sheet; they have actually conceded two or more goals in three of their last five matches and failed to score in two of four. They will head to this game without Luka Milivojevic, after the midfielder was sent off in the last game, which further makes their situation tough. They have failed to score in two of their seven league matches this season and have not scored more than a goal in four of their last five matches. Meanwhile, four of their last six matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they will hope they can take advantage of playing at home after failing to win in the last two games there. In the last seven home league matches, Palace have one win and only three of the last 10 at their backyard have ended in clean sheets. Palace will also head to this game knowing they are winless in the last four meetings against Leeds United, which they will be aiming to change.

It is seven years since these two sides last met, and Leeds have a better head to head record, having won five of the last eight meetings. They go to this clash on a better run, despite coming from a loss. Leeds United have two wins and two losses in their last five outings; their last match ended in a 4-1 loss at the hands of Leicester City. That loss left them with two clean sheets in their last five matches but they have failed to score in just one of the eight matches they have played this season. Leeds are known for their attack, but in their recent matches they have not been firing as expected. Save for the 3-0 win over Aston Villa, they have failed to score more than one goal in four of their last five matches, at one point not scoring at all. However, they head here with two straight away wins and having scored seven goals in their three away league matches. They seem to find little trouble playing away from home; in their last 10 away matches, going back to the Championship, Leeds have seven wins.
