Crystal Palace vs Leeds United Prediction
Crystal Palace are 14th in the league, four points behind 9th-placed Leicester City, who have a game in hand. Given the low expectations placed on Patrick Vieira's men before the season began, they have done an incredible job. A big rebuild of the squad saw the club sign young talents like Marc Guehi, Michael Olise and Joachim Andersen, and they have all impressed.
It will be interesting to see what the club does next season when Conor Gallagher returns to Chelsea. The England international has been a revelation for Crystal Palace, and the 22-year old looks set to enjoy a run in the first team for Chelsea next season.
Leeds United, on the other hand, are 16th in the league, four points behind Crystal Palace. An inconsistent season saw the club sack Marcelo Bielsa in what was an emotional moment for the club's fans. However, new manager Jesse Marsch has hit the ground running.
They are five points ahead of 18th-placed Burnley, and look set to play Premier League football next season.
