Leeds prepare for Palace visit

[title]

Leeds United face South London side Crystal Palace tomorrow at Elland Road.

The Eagles have made a good start to the season and lie in sixth place, after 10 points from their opening 5 games. Their manager, ex-Leeds striker, Dougie Freedman is not getting carried away though and maintains that Saturdays fixture will be a big test.

Leeds have had contrasting fortunes during their opening games. With just 4 points on the board, Simon Grayson admits that the "table does not lie" with regards to their lowly position of 19th.

Indeed it seems like back to back wins are imperative against both Palace and Bristol City the following week, hardly the position that Leeds fans wanted their team to be in so early on in the campaign.

Important team news for the Whites involves the absence of Aidy White, due to suspension. However, there are a number of squad returns to the squad, including; Billiy Paynter, Leigh Bromby, Luciano Becchio and Alex Bruce.

Mikael Forssell, signed yesterday, is expected to go straight into the squad tomorrow, as Leeds look to come back with a bang on home soil.
