The Whites missed out on the opportunity to move up to third in the Premier League table after a 4-1 loss against the Foxes, and could face another tricky task at Selhurst Park.

Roy Hodgson’s men are level on points with Marcelo Bielsa’s side, and have recorded impressive results against Manchester United and Southampton this season.

Who will be in the teams?

The most notable absentee from Leeds’ squad is still likely to be Kalvin Phillips, with the midfielder sidelined with a shoulder injury he sustained against Wolves last month.

Elsewhere, Rodrigo is self-isolating after coming into close contact with somebody who has since tested positive for Covid-19.

Summer signings Diego Llorente and Raphinha are both facing a race to be fit because of groin and ankle issues respectively, while long-term absentee Adam Forshaw will not feature.
