Leeds United team news vs Crystal Palace as three-game run confirmed
Sep 20 2026 14:48 · By onefootball.com · 5 Reads
Leeds United have named an unchanged starting XI for this afternoon’s Premier League meeting with Crystal Palace at Elland Road, a third game running.
According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Daniel Farke sticks with the side that hammered Newcastle United 4-1 on Monday, when Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored twice. The Whites are unbeaten in four league matches.
The midfield three is unchanged, with Ao Tanaka starting his third straight Premier League game alongside captain Ethan Ampadu and Anton Stach.
Noah Okafor again has licence to roam from the front. Calvert-Lewin leads the line and will look to add to his two-goal league tally before joining the England squad.
At the back, Farke has preferred Nico Elvedi to Jaka Bijol after another strong showing on Monday, with Elvedi set to face January Leeds target Jorgen Strand Larsen. He starts between James Justin and Tarik Muharemovic.
Jayden Bogle begins at right wing-back after his goal was later taken off him, with Gabriel Gudmundsson on the left and James Trafford in goal. Leeds XI: Trafford, Justin, Elvedi, Muharemovic, Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Stach, Gudmundsson, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin. Subs: Zetterer, Bard, Bijol, Gruev, Longstaff, James, Aaronson, Bahoya, Nmecha.
