The Crystal Palace team, led by its coach Roy Hodgson, is preparing to be a heavy guest against its counterpart Leeds United, led by its coach Michael Skiobala, in an important and strongly awaited match from many on the sidelines of the 30th round confrontations in the English Premier League championship for the current season 2022-2023.
The Elland Road stadium is decorated to host the Leeds United match against Crystal Palace today in the Premier League, which will be transmitted to viewers through the beIN Sports 1HD Premium channel.
The date of the Leeds United match against Crystal Palace in the English Premier League
The date for the Crystal Palace and Leeds United match will be today, Sunday, April 9, 2023, at 14:00 GMT.The Whites enter this bottom-half scrap on the back of a priceless 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest, while Roy Hodgson's second stint in the Palace dugout began with a dramatic win over Leicester City by the same scoreline.
Having given Arsenal a good run for their money during the earliest exchanges of their Emirates clash before being blown away by the league leaders, Leeds were indebted to their wing kings for sparking a creditable fightback during the visit of Forest on Tuesday evening.
A tidy finish from Orel Mangala broke the deadlock for the Tricky Trees with just 12 minutes on the clock, but the turnaround was complete before half time, as Jack Harrison latched onto a rebound from Marc Roca's saved attempt before Luis Sinisterra expertly picked out the far corner.
With just one defeat to show from their last four Premier League battles under the tutelage of Javi Gracia, Leeds are one of the best in the bunch in the nine-team relegation dogfight, occupying 13th place in the table but just two points better off than Bournemouth in 18th spot.
There will be no pina coladas on the Yorkshire beaches for another few weeks yet, as a couple of dissatisfactory results could plunge the Whites straight back into demotion danger, but a three-game Premier League unbeaten run at Elland Road is a reassuring statistic for the home faithful.
Only Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Fulham have actually beaten the Whites on their own turf this term, and Gracia's side have come up with an eye-catching nine goals in their last four Premier League matches, but Palace could have matched that tally in just one game against a beleaguered Leicester.
