Jesse Marsch will have the vast majority of his squad available for Leeds United’s penultimate pre-season match against Crystal Palace. The Whites face Patrick Vieira’s side in the final game of their tour of Australia in Perth on Friday morning (11:05am UK time).
Leeds will be hoping to send their supporters Down Under away with smiles on their faces by bouncing back from their narrow defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday. The loss to Steven Gerrard’s side was the first negative result of the summer so far after wins Blackpool and Brisbane Roar opened pre-season.
It is unclear whether Marsch will put out his strongest possible starting XI, especially given there is still the clash against Cagliari to come prior to the season opener against Wolves. Liam Cooper is very unlikely to feature as he continues to recover from the Achilles issue he picked up whilst training on his own before pre-season had even begun.
