Leeds United host Crystal Palace at Elland Road on Sunday 20 September 2026 (14:00 BST). The Whites hammered Newcastle 4–1 in GW4 — Jayden Bogle (37 FPL points) was the standout — while Palace lost 2–3 to Ipswich at Selhurst Park. Calvert-Lewin and Bogle face Mateta and Sarr in a fixture where Leeds' home form is the story.
Leeds United: what changed
Daniel Farke's Leeds are flying at Elland Road — the 4–1 win over Newcastle in GW4 was their best performance of the season. Bogle (37 FPL points, £4.5m) is the form defender in the game; Calvert-Lewin and Wilson supply the attacking threat against a Palace side that leaked three at home to Ipswich.

Crystal Palace: team news
Oliver Glasner's Palace arrive after a 2–3 home defeat to Ipswich in GW4 — a result that raised questions about their defensive organisation. Mateta and Sarr remain the FPL core, but away at Elland Road on the back of a Selhurst setback is a difficult assignment.
