Leeds prepare to entertain Crystal Palace at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Whites are clearly on top, having won 17 and lost only 6 of the 27 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Elland Road was less than a year ago, in March 2006, with Crystal Palace inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Whites in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Leeds' poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Whites have scored 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Crystal Palace's away form is none too clever either, losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. The Eagles have a narrow positive goal difference over these games, with 6 goals for and 5 against.
Leeds find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 30 games have yielded only 27 points. Crystal Palace's 42 points from 31 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
