Leeds United are back in action in the Premier League this weekend. The Whites managed to triumph in their FA Cup tie on Sunday and are now in the quarterfinals of the competition.
They will be back to face reality this weekend when they get back into the relegation battle. Daniel Farke’s men failed to pick up a result in their last two games which has seen them dragged back into danger. And with their rivals picking up points, each game from now till the end of the season will be crucial.
Leeds are away to Selhurst Park and have to try and get something against Oliver Glasner’s men. Which will be a difficult task considering the current form the Whites are in.
Leeds United handed boost with Crystal Palace injury news
In a game that is increasingly looking like a must win for Leeds United, there is some good news as Palace have a few key players out. Oliver Glasner is already without three players long-term: Eddie Nketiah and Cheick Docoure. None of these three will be ready in time to face Leeds when the weekend arrives; all are expected to return near the end of the campaign.
Palace have star defender Maxence Lacroix suspended for the game as he completes his ban for a sending off a few games ago. Jean-Philippe Mateta is not ready yet as he is still recovering from his injury, while Glasner confirmed that Daniel Munoz is a doubt for the upcoming game.
”He’s working hard with our medical staff to be ready for the Leeds game.”
Palace are in 13th place in the Premier League with 38 points and are not in immediate danger of being dragged into the relegation battle.
Whites have to get back on track
Daniel Farke and Leeds United need to do everything possible to get a result from this game. They cannot afford to not get a single point from three consecutive games. They have now been dragged back into the relegation scrap after their last two results. And with Nottingham Forest and West Ham getting points this past week, things are not looking great.
| Games | W | D | L | Points | GF | GA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14 | 1 | 6 | 7 | 9 | 15 | 28 |
| Away win rate: 7% | Points per game: 0.64 | Goal difference: -13 | ||||||
Leeds have to tap into their strategy they used to get points away to Liverpool, Chelsea and Brentford. They have two games before the international break and they must make them count.
