Leeds United are back in front of their own fans this weekend with Crystal Palace due at Elland Road on Saturday evening. The Whites came from behind to draw 1-1 at Brentford last time out and are now unbeaten in three, having taken four points from Chelsea and Liverpool beforehand.
Daniel Farke was without a trio of first-team players at the Gtech Community Stadium but with a full week to recover ahead of Palace, could welcome one absentee back into the fold. Weekend visitors Palace, however, have numerous injury issues as their festive fixture schedule continues to take its toll.
Palace have a Europa Conference League fixture to contend with this week before Saturday’s trip to Elland Road while Leeds begin preparing for their weekend clash. Below is a round-up of the latest injury and team news from both sides going into the week.
1. OUT: Daniel Munoz

Palace suffered a fresh blow last weekend when Kamada was forced off during a 3-0 defeat against Manchester City. Glasner has since confirmed a hamstring injury will keep the Japanese international out for a few weeks. | Getty Images
