Leeds pulled off a remarkable result at Villa and are probably the surprise package of the season.

If it's the Palace I expect to turn up, irrespective of tactics or quality of players etc. They will outwork us by about 10 times, and should therefore probably outscore us by about 10 times. Probably won't happen, but this is one I genuinely fear has the potential to be embarrassing.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

As the season progresses, they look better than us. The difference is their manager. We will score but see us losing this.

They will play with a high-tempo and their workrate will be second to none.They are a well-drilled outfit which is hardly surprising given they are managed by the great Marcelo Bielsa whose tactics I have studied for many years. I cannot see beyond a Leeds victory. Edited by Willo (02 Nov 2020 11.04am)

Have to hope for our strongest back four being available and that includes Ward, Tomkins, Cahill and Mitchell. Then he selects a stronger defensive midfield than the Wolves match. If that happens we may just hold them and get a break going forward. It’s going to be a tough one and a 0.2 defeat is my prediction? However if we are as open as we were against Wolves then it could be more :-(

Impressive start by Leeds, and by Bamford ... who'd have thought that one up?
We move in the direction of our thoughts. |

From previous Leeds games they are going to swarm all over us so to get anything from the game we need our defensive format to play very tight to ensure they don’t score. If we keep the game tight into the second half then our counter attacking play will need to deliver.

I hope we don't revert to just kicking it long every time to avoid the press like we did against Brighton. However, if we sit deep and manage to contain them they may grow impatient and give us space to counter, so it is a tricky one. Wolves did a job on them in that respect. They seem to thrive in open games, but that is something we are unlikely to see from our team again after the first-half at Wolves, so I'm not so sure about how this one will play out. I have a feeling we will sneak it and the commentators will complain about our anti-football as we win 1-0 with our only shot on target, while Leeds will have 57 shots.

I predict we'll bore the Leeds players in to apathy and we'll bundle home a 1-0 win
