After the day’s opening encounter between Everton and Manchester United, Palace entertain Leeds with both sides knocking on the door of the top half of the table and looking to return to winning ways.
Palace suffered a disappointing defeat against Wolves last time out, while Leeds were on the end of a heavy 4-1 loss against Leicester, although their away form has been among the more impressive records in the Premier League this season. Follow the live updates below.
Palace climb to sixth with victory, while Leeds drop to 14th. They’ve now shipped 17 goals in eight games, the worst defensive record in the Premier League.
Full-time
That’s it! A very good day’s work for Palace, who return to winning ways in emphatic style, even if the scoreline flatters them slightly. Leeds have now lost back-to-back games, and both finished 4-1, so that will be a concern for Bielsa.
90 min
Bamford glides forward with the ball and goes to ground in the box. There’s a check for a possible penalty, but it looks more like a coming together between McCarthy and the Leeds striker.
88 min
Van Aanholt goes close again, teed up by a Benteke header and able to drill a shot at goal. He strikes the bouncing ball well, but it brushes the side netting on its way wide.
87 min
Leeds will press and harry until the final second of this game, but it is beginning to peter out now. Palace have managed the second half very well.
84 min
Raphinha strikes a free kick at goal and sends it just wide of the right post, with Guaita racing across his line to try and reach it. Good effort from the Leeds substitute.
