Follow the latest updates live from Crystal Palace vs Leeds United as Saturday’s Premier League action continues at Selhurst Park.
After the day’s opening encounter between Everton and Manchester United, Palace entertain Leeds with both sides knocking on the door of the top half of the table and looking to return to winning ways.
Palace suffered a disappointing defeat against Wolves last time out, while Leeds were on the end of a heavy 4-1 loss against Leicester, although their away form has been among the more impressive records in the Premier League this season. Follow the live updates below.
64 min
Quick feet from Zaha, who latches onto a pass down the line from van Aanholt and wins a free kick off Cooper. This is a dangerous position for Palace…
59 min
Leeds are struggling to work their way through Palace’s typically compact defence. At the moment, the hosts look relatively comfortable.
55 min
Palace make a meal of defending another corner, almost allowing Koch to bring the ball down and shoot. Eventually, Townsend hacks clear.
52 min
Ayew drifts inside and has a shot blocked. Eze then goes for goal from 20 yards out, curling his effort wide.
51 min
Close! Struijk climbs highest from a corner and guides a header just wide from close range. He probably should’ve scored.
50 min
Zaha weaves his way into the box, twisting and turning and looking for room to shoot. He’s crowed out by a sea of white shirts.
Kick-off
Leeds get the second half underway. They’ve made a change, too, bringing on Raphinha for Costa.
Half-time
Palace head down the tunnel with a two-goal lead. But there’s a sense that this game isn’t over yet. Leeds look capable of fighting back, although the hosts might start to find more and more spaces to exploit on the counter attack.
