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:

SO CLOSE! Harrison sends the free-kick curling towards the bottom left corner, but Johnstone does brilliantly to leap to his right and tip behind for a corner.

Mitchell brings down Firpo, and the hosts will have a free-kick in a great shooting position.

OFF THE POST! A corner is swung into the Leeds box, and Schlupp has a free header. He nods towards the bottom right corner, only to watch his effort come back off the woodwork. That was so close to a Palace equaliser.

Leeds now have a lead that their performance has fully warranted. Can they go on and kill the game off?
