Elland Road Tuesday 21st March 7.45pm.


This will be a big test of the character of our boys but I think they are going to be up to it, this is exactly the sort of game KB was planning for when he signed players like Derry, Lewis, Butler and Blake they have all been here before and they will not be fazed.


Unless we picked up any injuries I am not aware of at the weekend we are going to field the same team we started with at Coventry so I think KB will resist the temptation to bring David Healy back to the starting line up, in fact I think we will probably go with the same bench as the weekend as well.


Palace have restored Riihilahti to the line up since we last played them but they will otherwise trot out similar team to the one that started against us just a couple of weeks ago. They will see this as a game they have to win if they want to stay in contention for the second automatic promotion spot, lose and they will be looking over their shoulders at other possible play off contenders.


By the time we kick off we may be back in fourth place depending on Watford’s result against the Saints tonight but that should not matter to us, we win and our destiny remains in our own hands for those final 7 games each of the contenders will then have to decide who goes up with Reading.


I expect Palace to play us on the break and we should be better equipped for that with Killa back, we always have the potential to score.


Prediction: Leeds 1 v Palace 0 (A draw would not be the end of the world)
