Adam Forshaw picked up a knee injury during training and remains doubtful. Patrick Bamford (foot) and Tyler Roberts (hamstring) are set to miss the rest of the season following injury woes.
Jesse Marsch will probably go for the 4-2-3-1 formation with minor tweaks as compared to the last game. Kalvin Phillips will look to start following Adam Forshaw’s absence.
4-2-3-1 Leeds United Predicted Lineup Vs Crystal Palace
Defence
Illan Meslier will start in goal for the upcoming encounter. The French shot-stopper would hope to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet.
Liam Cooper will form the centre-half partnership with Diego Llorente at the heart of the Whites’ backline.
Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas haven’t missed a single match this season and are set to start in the wing-back positions. They will look to stretch the opposition’s defence and create chances for the forwards.
Midfield
Kalvin Phillips and Mateusz Klich will anchor the midfield as they exploit the Eagles’ defence. The duo would be determined to set up some clear-cut goal-scoring chances for the men up front.
Raphinha and Jack Harrison will take up the wide positions, playing down the right and left-wing, respectively. Rodrigo will remain in the central attacking midfield to bolster the attack.
Attack
Daniel James might lead the line against the Eagles, and the striker will fancy his chances of finding the back of the net, although Crystal Palace’s defence have conceded only three goals in the last five matches.
