This will be the first time Leeds have played Crystal Palace at Elland Road in a Premier League match since 1997/98, losing 2-0 under George Graham.

Leeds have lost both of their PL fixtures on Monday this season against Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Palace are winless in their last eight league matches on this day (D2 L6) since beating Arsenal 3-0 in April 2017.

Palace are looking to record a league double over Leeds for the first time since the 1985/86 season in the second tier. They have never achieved this in the top flight.

Eberechi Eze has been involved in as many PL goals in 2021 in six appearances (2 goals, 1 assists) as he was from 14 appearances last year (1 goal, 2 assists), with two of those against Leeds in November when he both scored and assisted.
