Preview Leeds United Premier League, Nov 30, 2021
Preview Leeds United picked up a goalless draw in Saturday’s Premier League fixture against Brighton & Hove Albion in front of 30,000 spectators at Falmer Stadium. Despite the scoreline, which belied the true nature of the game, both sides failed to convert several clear-cut chances. Leeds’ Illan Meslier kept his side from going behind after a remarkable save which saw the rebound crash off the woodwork in the first period. Robert Sánchez was also having a fine day at the office, having been equal to the test on two occasions to keep the Seagulls from falling behind at AMEX. Both sides failed to find a way through, despite taking a combined total of 31 shots, eight of which were on target, four apiece. In the first half, there was a lack of coordination and there was a lot of things to correct, Biela said in his post-match press conference. By no way do I think it's linked to the players that came off and the players that came on. He added, after being caught with two substitutions at half-time. Bielsa took off Kalvin Phillips and Junior Firpo at the break. The differences in the first half worries us, and the recovery in the second half gives us optimism and hope. On Tuesday, the Leeds boss will be looking to make the right selection from the get-go when the Peacocks return for the mid-week opener. With 6 points from a possible 15, DWDLD, Leeds remains in 17th place, having picked up 12 points after 2W, 6D, and 5L. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Daniel James at the top of the shape is expected from Marcelo Bielsa against Crystal Palace. Leeds have no new injury worries ahead of this Tuesday's clash.
Preview Crystal Palace Premier League, Nov 30, 2021
Preview Crystal Palace failed to pick up a point on Saturday after their 2-1 defeat to a Gerrard-led Aston Villa at Selhurst Park. Matt Targett (15') had put Villa in front in the first fifteen minutes before John McGinn (86') doubled the Lions' lead late in. Deep into stoppage time, Marc Guehi (90'+5) netted and guaranteed onlookers a nervous finish. I'm really disappointed with the result, said Patrick Vieira in his post-match press conference. Today we didn't play well enough. The consequence is to not get anything from the game. The defeat brought Crystal Palace’s four-match unbeaten run to an end: DWWDL, and leaves the club in 10th place with 16 points after 3W, 7D, and 3L. Patrick Vieira surprised many with a 4—2—3—1 formation, leaving Benteke on top instead of the more familiar 4—3—3 for the game against Villa. A return to the latter is expected for this game on Tuesday. Palace has no new injury worries.
