Leeds United host Crystal Palace in their final game ahead of the international break. The Whites have bad news as a player has been ruled out ahead of the game.
Palace featured midweek in their win over Lech Poznan in the Europa League.
The London club have not been at their best this season; they have won only three games – one in the league, another in the League Cup and the most recent one in Europe.
In his short time in charge, Pierre Sage is already under pressure at his new job.
Palace have three points out of a possible twelve in the league, and they travel to one of the most difficult grounds in England.

Daniel Farke’s men are also coming off a huge result, as they thrashed Newcastle at Elland Road on Monday night.
Pierre Sage’s team will be very wary of their opponents on Sunday, as Leeds United are unbeaten in the Premier League. But the Whites will be handicapped for the game with the latest team news.
Farke confirmed that Harry Wilson is out with a quad injury, which could see him miss the whole international break.
”Ilia important to get first minutes with U21s, nearly 90 minutes. He’s available for the weekend. Sadly Harry Wilson is out for this game with a quad injury, some problems after last game. He’ll also probably miss Welsh games. Joe Rodon out all others available.”
Joe Rodon also remains unavailable with his hamstring injury. The good news is that midfielder Ilia Gruev is back in competitive action, after featuring for the U21s midweek.
Outside that, Farke will have close to a full compliment available for this weekend’s game.

Harry Wilson has no luck this season
When he arrived this summer, many expected Harry Wilson to come straight into the first team. And even though he has shown flashes, he has been off to a slow start.
And now with this injury, his adaptation to the team will be slowed down even more.
Wilson is a quality player and has been unlucky not to find himself on the scoresheet already. The midfielder did provide an assist in the defeat to Chelsea in the League Cup.
But there is still a lot of football to be played this season, so there is hope for him.
