Where to watch Leeds United vs Crystal Palace
As the Premier League season speeds towards the halfway point, the battles at both ends of the table start to become box office viewing.
Therefore, Leeds fans not lucky enough to be inside Elland Road at 8pm on Saturday night will be delighted to learn that the fixture is being shown across a host of TV channels.
Leeds vs Crystal Palace is being broadcast on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports UHD, as well as being available on Sky Go and the Sky Sports+ app and NOW TV.
The match was originally scheduled to take place on Sunday 21st December, but due to Crystal Palace’s progression in the Carabao Cup that sees them play Arsenal on Tuesday 23rd, the fixture was brought forward to Saturday.
Leeds won’t want a repeat of Crystal Palace’s last visit to Elland Road this weekend
It looks set to be a brilliant game of football between Leeds and Crystal Palace on Saturday night, with Elland Road sure to be a picture under the lights.
However, Whites fans won’t have forgotten what happened the last time the Londoners travelled up to West Yorkshire in the Premier League.
On an April afternoon in 2023, Leeds took the lead against Palace after 21 minutes through Patrick Bamford.
But, goals from Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze, Odsonne Edouard and a Jordan Ayew double saw the Eagles run out emphatic 5-1 winners.
- Leeds have taken 12 of their 16 Premier League points at Elland Road this season
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin enters the game in deadly goalscoring form, with four in as many games
- Only Arsenal (10) have conceded fewer goals than Crystal Palace’s 15 so far this term
Leeds have been able to make Elland Road a fortress this season, but it will take a clinical attacking performance to break down a watertight Palace defence.
