Leeds United hosts Crystal Palace in round 23 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, February 8th at Elland Road (Leeds)
The work of Marcelo Bielsa at the head of Leeds is receiving extremely rave reviews, but much more will be demanded from the Argentinean and his charges later. The team occupies an intermediate 11th place in the standings (29 points scored). The Peacocks prefer an aggressive playing style with a sharp transition from defense to attack. Leeds has little ball possession, often yielding to its opponents in this component. Thanks to competent work in the transfer market, the management was able to quickly prepare the team for the elite. Beyond that, the players who have passed all the hardships of the Championship stayed in the club. Namely, Bamford, Phillips, and Klich are in good shape. So far, such strong newcomers as Rodrigo, Raphinha, and Helder Costa have not proved themselves to the full.

Crystal Palace is the brainchild of Roy Hodgson, an experienced mentor who is always loved by football players. The coach has been heading the team since 2017. He has managed to raise Crystal Palace from the status of an eternal outsider to the level of a strong middle peasant during this period. The club rarely fails a long segment of matches, demonstrating stable results during the tournament distance. In the last two rounds, the Glaziers managed to beat Wolverhampton and Newcastle. In winter, Crystal Palace has loaned Mateta from Mainz, and he can help the club improve its performance in the Premier League. The backbone of the team consists of its old-timers - Zaha, Townsend, Milivoevic, and Guaita. Eze, Riedewald, Mitchell, and Ferguson are doing well and will be making progress in their careers.
The defensive lines of both teams are now far from ideal, and they regularly allow their opponents to score. Leeds demonstrates an attacking style and often forgets about its rear. Crystal Palace is more reserved. But we think that the game will be wide-open, and we will see an exchange of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
