Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Crystal Palace in the Premier League today.

Leeds head coach Javi Gracia named an unchanged starting line-up for his side’s home game against Crystal Palace. Leading goalscorer Rodrigo and Willy Gnonto are among the substitutes again as Leeds aim for back-to-back league wins following Tuesday night’s 2-1 home victory against Nottingham Forest. Luke Ayling continued in the captain’s role with Liam Cooper also on the bench, while Adam Forshaw returned to the matchday squad.

Palace goalkeeper Sam Johnstone made his first league start for the club in place of Vincente Guaita in boss Roy Hodgson’s second game in charge since returning to Selhurst Park. Jordan Ayew was also back in the starting XI as Wilfried Zaha missed out due to a groin injury.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Leeds have won none of their last nine Premier League matches against teams from London (drawn two, lost seven) since a 3-0 win over Chelsea, and it looks like that run will continue against another side from the capital.

There are huge protests for a handball against Mitchell in the visitors' box, but they are to no avail as referee Simon Hooper waves play on.

Leeds United vs Crystal Palace

Since returning to the Premier League in 2020, Leeds have won both of their home matches against Palace without conceding a goal (2-0 in 2020-21, 1-0 in 2021-22). They have work to do though if they are to take another three points off the Eagles at Elland Road.
