Leeds vs. Crystal Palace: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Leeds United will welcome Crystal Palace to Elland Road on Sunday in their final Premier League clash before the international break.

Daniel Farke has overseen a strong start to the season, with the hosts currently in sixth place with eight points, and they could rise as high as third this weekend.

Pierre Sage's Palace have started more slowly having taken just three points from 12 so far, and they find themselves in 17th.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the head-to-head record between Leeds and Crystal Palace.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 70

Leeds United wins: 32

Draws: 18

Crystal Palace wins: 20

A regular fixture in the top two tiers of English football, Leeds United and Crystal Palace first crossed paths in the 1921-22 Second Division campaign and have now done battle in 70 competitive matches across all tournaments.

The Yorkshire side hold the head-to-head bragging rights with 32 victories compared to 20 for the Eagles, while only 18 draws have been played out between the two teams over the last 104 years.

The most recent clash between the two came in March this year when they played out a goalless stalemate at Selhurst Park.

Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin missed a first half penalty after Palace captain Will Hughes handled the ball and the visitors were reduced to 10 men just minutes later after Gabriel Gudmundsson was sent off.

It was the first time the two sides have drawn a match since April 2022 when Leeds dug in for a 0-0 stalemate en route to survival. However, Palace did the double over the Whites in the following campaign.

A 2-1 victory at Selhurst Park in October 2022 preceded a 5-1 Elland Road embarrassment in April 2023, and the latter result represents Crystal Palace's biggest-ever win away to Leeds in any tournament.

The 2022-23 campaign also saw Palace win back-to-back games against Leeds for the first time since 2006, when the Eagles claimed a pair of 1-0 Championship wins over the Whites, who have otherwise done themselves proud in this particular battle.

Indeed, Leeds have lost just four of their last 16 meetings with the London club in all competitions, and they have never been beaten in successive top-flight home matches by Crystal Palace.

Outside of league football, Leeds conquered Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park in the fifth round of the 2002-03 FA Cup, and the Whites also obliterated the Eagles 8-1 in the 1929-30 edition of the competition.
