KEITH INGHAM

After Monday’s disappointing 4-1 home defeat by Leicester City, United travel down to London hoping to repeat their marvellous display at Villa Park.

The game with Leicester is best forgotten and was one just to put down as one of those nights when we weren’t just ‘at it’. City were the better team.

Marcelo Bielsa’s squad for the game will be without injured Diego Llorente, Kalvin Phillips and Rodrigo due to Covid protocols.

Pablo Hernandez, strangely substituted on Monday for Tyler Roberts, will probably continue in the ‘number 10’ role.

Palace won’t be an easy game. They have a decent squad that includes Wilfried Zaha and others that could test the Leeds rearguard.

They will be without their captain Luka Milivojević who is suspended. Selhurst Park has been a pretty unlucky ground for United in the past.

Scoring goals wins matches so it is hoped Patrick Bamford is back to the form that saw him complete a left-footed trio in the last away game.

I’ll go for a draw in this game; I don’t see Leeds getting three points unfortunately.

Prediction: Crystal Palace 2 Leeds United 2.
