See live & upcoming matchesLeeds United have not lost a Premier League match since the opening weeks of the season. Crystal Palace have lost three of their last four in the same competition. That gap sets up Sunday's Leeds United vs Crystal Palace fixture at Elland Road.
Leeds United vs Crystal Palace kicks off at 14:00 BST on Sunday, 20 September 2026, at Elland Road in the Premier League.
Leeds have gone four Premier League matches without defeat: a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest, a 1-1 draw at home to Brentford, a 1-1 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion, and a 4-1 home win over Newcastle United on 14 September. That run has come alongside two EFL Cup ties either side of it. Leeds beat Forest 2-0 in the cup, then shipped six in a 6-3 defeat at Chelsea on 9 September, a heavier scoreline than anything in their league form this month.
Palace's last four Premier League games read very differently: a 2-0 defeat at Everton, a 1-4 home loss to Manchester City, a 3-2 win at Fulham, and a 3-2 home defeat to Ipswich Town on 12 September. Only the Fulham game has brought league points since the opening weekend. Goals have flowed elsewhere, though. Palace put three past Middlesbrough in the EFL Cup and four past Lech Poznań in the Europa League within the space of nine days, but neither of those results came against Premier League opposition.
Crystal Palace will be without Axel Disasi, who is serving a three-match ban after his red card in the defeat to Ipswich Town. Chadi Riad is out for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury suffered in the Everton game, and both Jean-Philippe Mateta and Dean Henderson are sidelined and not expected back before the international break. Leeds have their own absence at the back, with Joe Rodon out through a thigh injury.
