Leeds United host Crystal Palace at Elland Road on Sunday looking to preserve an unbeaten start to the Premier League season that has left them third in the table, behind only champions Arsenal and Manchester City.
Daniel Farke’s side have won two and drawn two of their four league games, and go into the weekend on the back of a 4-1 thrashing of Newcastle United. Farke has called for his players to perform “at the top of their game” in what he described as a “very difficult” fixture, despite Leeds having won seven of their last eight home league meetings with Palace, scoring 16 goals in the process.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has scored in each of his last five Premier League home games, is set to be joined in attack by Noah Okafor, while captain Ethan Ampadu, Anton Stach and Ao Tanaka could all continue in midfield ahead of Sean Longstaff and Brendan Aaronson.
