Leeds have a tough ask in taking on the experienced Roy Hodgson and Crystal Palace. Hodgson’s side give nothing away and will be well prepared to hold firm and launch counterattacks while the visitors, level on points with Palace, go through their death by a thousand passes routine. It has worked well for the equally experienced Marcelo Bielsa but last week’s defeat to Leicester was Leeds’ poorest showing so far. Avoiding a painful slump from an excellent comeback to the top flight would be ideal before the international break. Graham Searles
