Leeds United will look to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to five matches when they welcome Crystal Palace to Elland Road on Sunday.

Daniel Farke's side have burst out of the blocks and only Manchester City and Arsenal have picked up more points so far this season.

After a slow start under new boss Pierre Sage, Palace have won three in four in all competitions, but they only have one win to their name in the league and sit just above the relegation zone in 16th.

Team news

Leeds boss Farke cannot call upon the services of centre-back Joe Rodon as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.

Forward Mateo Joseph is also sidelined with a cruciate ligament injury, but the young Spaniard is not currently part of Farke's first-team plans.

The Eagles were without Dean Henderson, Chadi Riad and Jean-Philippe Mateta in midweek against Lech Poznan, but Ismaila Sarr and Eddie Nketiah recovered from injuries to feature off the bench.

The stats

Leeds have only lost one of their first six matches in all competitions, while they are unbeaten in the Premier League.

The Whites have scored seven league goals in four outings, but four of those came in Monday's 4-1 win over Newcastle.

Palace have won one of their four league matches, but they come into Sunday's tie on the back of three wins in four matches in all competitions.

Leeds are unbeaten in seven games at Elland Road, while Palace have won one of their last five away matches.

Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored in five successive Premier League matches at Elland Road.

Prediction

Leeds are a tough nut to crack at home and they last lost in front of their own fans in March against Sunderland.

Farke's side built their success last season on their home form and that should not change this time around.

Monday's 4-1 success was further proof of just how much the Whites elevate their game in front of their passionate crowd, but Palace are still capable of scoring.

Leeds have not kept a clean sheet in four games, while Palace have scored 13 goals in five fixtures.

The Whites hammered Palace 4-1 in the last meeting between the pair at Elland Road and another lively game is expected.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's record at Elland Road is exemplary and four goals in four appearances this season suggest he has found his rhythm.

At the other end of the pitch, Jorgen Strand Larsen has four goals in three games and he looks good value to hit the back of the net.

Score prediction: Leeds 2-1 Crystal Palace

Back Leeds to win, both teams to score, Dominic Calvert-Lewin to score anytime, Jorgen Strand Larsen to score anytime at 17/1 with LiveScore Bet
