Leeds v Crystal Palace

Leeds welcome Crystal Palace to Elland Road on Saturday, desperate for 3 points to try and fight their way from the bottom of the table.

Boss Dennis Wise still has major injury worries - mainly up front. David Healy is out, as is Torre Andre Flo - whilst Richard cresswell, although back in training, is unlikely to be risked. Robbie Blake is likely to start with Tresor Kandol, although Ian Moore will be pushing for a place. In midfield, there are injury doubts over Douglas, Derry and Nicholls, although left winger/left back Eddie Lewis should be fit. Teenager Jonny Howson, fresh from his first Leeds goal last week, is likely to keep his place. Robbie Elliott is a doubt at left back, so Lewis may slot in there, and Wise has a tough call to make on keepers, as 3 fight for one spot.
