Marsch and Vieira’s rivalry goes back to their overlapping stints in Major League Soccer where the pair did battle as New York Red Bulls and New York City FC bosses, respecitvely.
Despite missing Luis Sinisterra through suspension, Leeds have a largely fully-fit squad to pick from this weekend and will be at near full strength for today’s 2pm kick-off.

Crystal Palace 2-1 Leeds United highlights: Jesse Marsch faces the media after Palace defeat
Marsch on Aaronson
Most opponents are addressing him. It means he has to come up with quicker solutions. I thought he had a good match in general, I thought a lot of our players played quite well.
We just have to live in the moment. We have to continue to believe. I know we have the right kind of people in the dressing room
Marsch on morale
It’s a weird season with the break. In some ways the Chelsea game was bad for us, it put teams on warning. I believe we’ve played better over the last five games than two points.
Marsch on squad
I love this team, I believe in this team. I know we're going to improve and keep getting better.
Marsch on Bamford and Firpo
Patrick is clearly physically in good form. In general I thought he was okay, a day when he was a little bit sharper I think he finds a goal. Firpo picked up a little something after the last game. He’ll be ready next week.
Marsch on scoring
My experience is that it comes together. It’s hard for me, we have a young team, we have to keep developing. Here we aren’t able to reward ourselves with goals in bunches.
Marsch on self-inflicted wounds
Coops knows it wasn’t a necessary foul. We’ve taken pride on set-pieces so it’s disappointing. We’ve been more susceptible on free-kicks than corners. Again, we have big chances second half and even first half, if we can be a little bit sharper in the final third.
