"Palace are starting a Premier League game without Henderson in goal for the first time since March 2024, ending a run of 77 matches with the English goalkeeper in the starting XI."
"The Whites are only three points clear of the bottom three going into the game and face an anxious run-in once again."
"This is only the second time in the Premier League this season that Leeds United have started both Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Nmecha, also doing so in the 3-1 win against Chelsea in December."
Crystal Palace faces Leeds United at Selhurst Park in a vital Premier League encounter. Palace recently defeated Tottenham and makes five changes to their starting lineup, with Dean Henderson absent from goal for the first time since March 2024, ending a 77-match streak. Brennan Johnson starts in attack alongside other new starters including Walter Benítez, Maxence Lacroix, Will Hughes, and Jefferson Lerma. Leeds, struggling with only one win in their last six games and sitting just three points above the bottom three, makes two changes with Jaka Bijol and Lukas Nmecha replacing Jayden Bogle and Ilia Gruev. The match kicks off at 2pm UK time.
