Leeds Third After Fast Start as Palace Head to Elland Road
Farke says the run is built on deliberate quality, a sign the club may sustain its early surge.
Overview
- Leeds sit third in the Premier League with eight points after an unbeaten four-match start and a 4-1 win over Newcastle.
- Manager Daniel Farke called the form 'not a coincidence' and credited consistent selection and team quality for the results.
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin has driven Leeds' home threat, scoring in five straight home Premier League games and starring in the Newcastle victory.
- Crystal Palace have won once in the league, have conceded two or more goals in 10 consecutive top-flight matches and also recorded a morale-boosting 4-0 Europa League win over Lech Poznań.
- Matchday logistics at Elland Road will change because of the West Stand redevelopment, with new access routes for ticket holders and a club reminder of a zero-tolerance policy on discriminatory behaviour.
