Leeds United will welcome Crystal Palace at Elland Road this Sunday as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Whites earned a dominant 4-1 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League recently, so they will be eager to keep their good form going in the league.

Daniel Farke will opt for the 4-3-3 formation and is expected to keep changes to a minimum for this game. Hence, Dominic Calvert-Lewin will once again spearhead Leeds United’s attack up top.

4-3-3 Leeds United Predicted Lineup To Face Crystal Palace

Defence

James Trafford will function in goal for the West Yorkshire club as he looks to keep a clean sheet at home in the Premier League. Farke could name a back three of James Justin, Nico Elvedi and Tarik Muharemovic as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.

Jaka Bijol will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield

Ao Tanaka and Ethan Ampadu will anchor the midfield for the West Yorkshire club as they look to establish their dominance over the opposition at the centre of the park.

Gabriel Gudmundsson will hope to impress on the left flank, while Jayden Bogle looks to prove his worth on the other side as the right-sided wide player. Both of them will try to make some overlapping runs out on the flanks.

Sean Longstaff and Daniel James will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to impress in the second 45 minutes if needed.

Attack

Noah Okafor will try to make a difference on the left flank, while Anton Stach looks to put in a good showing as the right-winger. Both of them will have to carry most of the creative burden for the Whites in and around the Palace penalty area.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin will lead the charge for Leeds up top. He would be eager to find the back of the net after doing so versus the Magpies in his last outing.

Lukas Nmecha will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if the Whites are in need of a goal by then.
