World News – UK – Live scores and results updates for Leeds United v Crystal Palace

Leeds United returns to action tonight to get back to winning ways when they host Crystal Palace on Elland Road

The narrow 2-1 loss to Everton last Wednesday night ended a winning streak in two games, and Marcelo Bielsa’s side are back under the lights of Elland Road tonight as they host the Eagles

A win for the Whites would see them move up to the top half of the Premier League table to avenge their 4-1 loss to Selhurst Park earlier in the season in one of their most disappointing losses of the season was

Bielsa will have to settle for new signings from Rodrigo, Diego Llorente and Robin Koch in the summer, while Roy Hodgson’s side have had a number of absenteeism, led by key man Wilfried Zaha

We have all the team news, setup, match action and analysis for you here

Alioski is really good at getting a foot in and making sales within the Palace half for a Leeds counter. Klich and bombs continue Klich goes through the center, goes back to Alioski in space to the right, but his retreat is too far behind Bamford. There were defenders between them chance

Must be the third close-range header that Struijk didn’t bury tonight Phillips and Struijk’s corner is head on top of another in the six-yard box but just can’t get enough of it

Another chance for Bamford Raphinha feeds Ayling on the pad in the lower right place to stand a cross eight yards away, but Bamford doesn’t quite attack it with enough poison Rescued by Guaita

Klich provided a beautiful back pass to set the palace defenses on the wrong foot, and set Raphinha back for a vicious first shot, Guaita did well to stop that, but his parry ended up at the feet of the advancing Bamford who practically got in Big goal

Townsend already gives Palace something else to draw men and then let go of Eze on the left Eze threads Riedewald on a counter through the middle into space He feeds Ayew with the overlap from the right, but Cooper sets him up and picks up the shot at alarm bells Leeds needs definitely a second

Should be further ahead Palace had a few spells with territory but did nothing with them Leeds had chances and will hope they will not regret them Raphinha purred

Riedewald’s slide rule pass deceives the defense of Leeds and Ayew comes through Von Ayling shielded from the ball and falls, but nothing given by Marriner would have been very soft

Phillips’ adorable cross from the left falls beautifully into the six yard box for a free, hunched struijk Get it all wrong and goes far Should have done a lot better

He always delivers something in every game and right here where box meets byline he throws the ball from one shoe to the other with his back to Cahill as it spins walks away and Cahill has to mess it up

Ayew with a solid effort to rescue the meslier running straight down her neck from outside the box Comfortably, but Palace now sees a lot of territory

United defends well but Palace have seen a lot more of the ball in the last five minutes.They have done well with the Leeds press

Wins a free kick on the edge of the palace box and rolls the free kick over the bar

Bamford big chance Expertly expects Milivojevic’s back pass to Cahill and intervenes to steal the ball and instantly throw it over the veteran’s center-back into space, where he can sprint through but shoot the shot past Should have choked it on both sides if Guaita Not a Sitter

From the left and again it’s Dallas looking for support. Padded chip behind the backline Bamford knocks Cahill off the field again, but the header is far Leeds look comfortable for the time being

Mateta turned out to be the only front man for Palace, which means a back four for the hosts. Same order as in the Everton game

Alioski’s crosses from the left sideline and Bamford runs on Cahill to the near post. Heavy header low to Guaita’s right but saved

Visitors finally show something with Mitchell and van Aanholt on that left flank. Some mistakes and loose United passes were confused with joy. Lack of quality around the box

The pitch again causes someone to slip Klich goes down very clumsily on the turn and almost does the splits It seemed like his hip could have popped out, but he’s up and continuing Did not go down well at all

The perfect start for United, who have gone well from the start. Movement starts on the right, Klich inside to Dallas, inside further to the center. Central in Harrison’s feet, good first touch and shots at goal. Cahill’s block just distracts him Guaita from

As expected, Palace has two strikers and United has three Struijk on the left and Cooper in the middle

When the first of my fingers goes numb, including my toes, the players step out into the field with their tracksuit tops and shorts very, very cold here, but Marching on Together still helps create a bit of warmth with impending controversy

Marcelo Bielsa has just spoken to Sky Sports who asked him what he learned from losing at Selhurst Park in November

I insist that the players are the same but no game is the same but we have to be aware of the standards, they take them very well and we have to watch the way their full-backs attack it looks like it will play one of their full-backs today as a winger

The same starting XI for the whites, but of course all the chatter is on the bench.With one hand we are happy that the child prodigy Joe Gelhardt was appointed to a squad for the first time, with the other we lose another experienced one Head in Pablo Hernandez It’s a very young bank The average age of outfield players is between 20 and 21 So now there are seven older faces missing for Bielsa Roberts must have a chance to progress sometime tonight Would love to see Gelhardt try Looked so good with the under 23s

So, an unchanged XI, but there’s a lot of chatter about the addition of Joe Gelhardt to the bench,
