Team news, stats, predictions and how to follow the Premier League competition between Crystal Palace and Leeds on Monday Night Football, live on Sky Sports.
Team News
Crystal Palace Attacker Michael Olise is a suspect for Monday’s home game against Leeds.
The France Under-21 international was forced out in the midweek loss to Newcastle after recovering from a recent leg injury and will be evaluated at the weekend.
Eagles coach Patrick Vieira should have let captain Luka Milivojevic return to action following a hamstring problem but right-back Nathan Ferguson remains out for a long time with a similar injury.
Leeds Midfielder Adam Forshaw has been out for the rest of the season after breaking his kneecap during training.
Kalvin Phillips will play his first game since recovering from a long-term hamstring injury in early December.
Head coach Jesse Marsch has no other new injury concerns, but forwards Patrick Bamford (foot) and Junior Firpo (knee) are still out and Tyler Roberts (hamstring) is unlikely to return. in this season.
Jones Knows prediction
If Patrick Viera was Graham Potter or Thomas Frank, would he receive the same level of appreciation at Crystal Palace? Last time, I looked at both of those clubs being taller than Palace. I don’t pour cold water on Palace’s much-improved season, but I think they’ve been blown a bit by who’s managing them and what he’s achieved as a player. That could be worth exploring when assessing the market before and after next season, especially if they lose Conor Gallagher.
The first goal in their matches is absolutely crucial to the outcome. Vieira’s side are undefeated in 14 Premier League games when they scored their first goal of the season (W8 D6) as they rarely go behind. However, they have not won in 14 Premier League games when conceding first (D4 L9) – one of only two Premier League teams without a win.
Leeds come in with wins in three of their last four, and Jesse Marsch seems to have lit the fire under Raphinha, whose form has skyrocketed in recent weeks. With a player like him in the ranks, Leeds look good with 13/5 wins against a team just four points above them in the table.
