One change was enough for Jesse Marsch in the Leeds United line-up which saw off Watford 3-0 more than two weeks ago with Kalvin Phillips restored. The England international is in the Whites XI for the first time in more than four-and-a-half months.
Robin Koch drops to the bench and Mateusz Klich is the man to partner Phillips in the centre of the park. Meanwhile, Junior Firpo and Lewis Bate return to the matchday squad too.
That duo have had a variety of knocks and injuries across the past few weeks, but are options for Marsch from the bench at Crystal Palace this evening. Diego Llorente retains his place alongside Liam Cooper after praise from Marsch for the clean sheet at Vicarage Road.

Illan Meslier has recovered from the knock at Wolverhampton Wanderers while Luke Ayling and Stuart Dallas continue in the full-back positions. Raphinha, Rodrigo and Jack Harrison, the scorers 16 days ago, remain in the attacking slots behind the striker.
Daniel James holds off Joe Gelhardt and Sam Greenwood to keep his starting berth too. The England youth internationals are attacking threats from the bench for Marsch.
