Tonight’s televised Premier League match sees Crystal Palace host Leeds United, and it’s a fixture that could have a big say in the relegation battle at the foot of the division.

The Whites are just four points off Everton in 18th place and have three matches against clubs in the top four after this evening’s game.

Kick-off at Selhurst Park is at 20:00 BST.

As for the team news, there are five changes for Palace from the side that started the 1-0 loss at Newcastle last Wednesday.

Joel Ward, James McArthur, Eberechi Eze, Jordan Ayew and Jean-Philippe Mateta come in, with Michael Olise among those dropping to the bench.

Tyrick Mitchell is out of the squad altogether.

There’s just the one change from the Leeds team that started in their last match, as Kalvin Phillips is back to replace Robin Koch in midfield.

GAMEWEEK 34 LINE-UPS

Crystal Palace XI: Guaita, Ward, Guehi, Andersen, Clyne, McArthur, Eze, Gallagher, Ayew, Zaha, Mateta.

    Should have held firm with Guaita but reckoned on Raphinha scoring 1.

    Leeds United have a decent enough record against Palace, but home on a Monday night could easily be a 3-1 win.

      We are doomed … game week to punish like no other

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It looked short and wide to me, unless he had another shot since?

        From the cross?! Lol.

    Repost:
    1 FT and 0.1 ITB. Which of the following transfers should I do?

    A. Ihenacho+Schar> Nketia+Cash ( -4)
    B. Broja>Mateta ( keep ihenacho)
    C.Ihenacho+Ramsdale>Watkins+Guaita (-4)

    I am thinking of getting rid of Ramsdale and get Guaita for his nice run of fixtures and also load up with some AVL players slowly.

    1. -GK22-
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah c looks good

  7. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If James struggles for fitness, would you do one of these?
    A. James Raph > Cash Foden
    B. James Raph > Alonso Coutinho

  8. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha seems a really argumentative type... 😆

  9. how now brown cow

    Completely forgot I have mates and rodrigo playing.

    Fairly confident of a 0-0 then.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer

      • 12 Years

      Mateta looks very involved tbh

      Had two good chances already but defended well by Leeds

  10. Big_Andy_GAWA

    Another 35 mins of play or so and Mateta gets hooked...??

      Salah

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who I get on WC and mins in europe. Might go KDB.

    4. Abaddon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho maybe or Kane

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        In all seriousness i might be on Sterling again

        You've got to give your guys a chance rather than pot luck!

    7. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years

      Salah

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        (K)ane

    8. CRAZY TRAIN
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Probably play safe with Salah, but the temptation is there for Kane with his record against Leicester

      1. It's Fergie Time
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        not salah, plays the early game on sat. never capt a player that plays the early say game

        1. Utopsis
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Saka last GW disagrees

    9. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Between Coutinho, Kane and Son.

    10. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe (C)R7 atm!

  13. Kodap

    Can’t stand Zaha

    1. Drumandbaines123
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Leeds are doing their best to try and rile him up

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty mad how Ayling (s.p.?) hasn't been booked yet.

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good player, but seems to get upset when fullbacks tackle him.

  14. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Please Mateta give me some some of decent return.

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Forget it mate. I have him too. CP pretty toothless. Will swap him out for Nketia gw 36.

  15. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Looking ahead to gw36 is the following worth a 4pt hit (given Chelsea likely rotation vs lee before fa cup final)

    Plan is BB36 FH37

    Out:
    James (WOL, lee)
    Kulu (liv, ars)
    Havertz (WOL, lee)

    In:
    Maddison (EVE, NOR)
    TAA (TOT, avl)
    Gordon (lei, wat)

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think the moves are a bit sideways. Guess you have to wait and see if James is fit or not.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes imo. Good idea to roll FT this week if possible.

  16. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Bench one:

    A. Maddison(tot)
    B. White(whu)

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      White

    What to do if I'm gonna BB 36 and FH 37?

    Foster ¦ Raya
    Rudiger Cash White Taylor
    Salah Son Sancho Willock
    Kane Lacazette
    ¦ Broja Gordon Amartey

    2.1 ITB, 2 FT's

    1. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ignore

      1. Slitherene
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Reposting the right question.

        What to do if I'm gonna BB 36 and FH 37?

        Foster ¦ Raya
        Alonso Cash White Taylor
        Salah Son Sancho Zaha
        Kane Pukki
        ¦ Broja Gordon Amartey

        2.1 ITB, 2 FT's

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Probably just the one transfer this week, two will be handy ahead of GW36.

          Sancho probably has to go right? Check how Saka is doing, but he could be a really worthwhile transfer in?

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Or a KDB-esque. Willock won't be needed for 36 really either.

            1. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Sorry ignore Willock, that was from original.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Start with getting rid of Amartey and Willock.

  18. jimmyharte
    • 8 Years

    Be too easy for Mateta to score against Leeds wouldn't it.

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      CP so frustrating to watch. Have Mateta...but don't expect anything.

      1. jimmyharte
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I have no faith in any of these crosses they are doing. Also Mateta seems to never be in a good position.

        1. how now brown cow

          Not sure. Will investigate.

  20. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years

    Hows Mateta playing? Any chance of a goal or is this wishful thinking?

    1. jimmyharte
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Missed 2 big chances. And looks highly unlikely to score.

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Great...

    2. Jock Grealish

      Nope

    Team for this week after a poor WC

    Roll FT and sort for 36? Will FH37

    Captain Salah?

    Foster
    James. Davies. Trent. Robbo. Cancelo
    Sterling. Salah. Havertz. Mount
    Nketiah

    Sanchez. Martinelli. Pukki. Gelhardt

  22. Baps Hunter

  23. Sun Jihai

    Gelhardt on for the winner?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully bench jam for me next week 😉 No need for him to score yet.

    Hi guys thoughts on transfers below?

    Ramsdale
    Alonso TAA Laporte
    Saka Kulu Salah Maddison Mount
    Kane Adams

    Dubravka White Mateta Doherty

    A) Kulu + Adams to Coutinho + Pukki-4pts
    B) Adams, Kulu + Ramsdale to Nketiah, Coutinho + Schmichael -8pts
    C)Adams, Kulu + White to Nketiah, Coutinho + Matip -8pts

      What chips do you have?

  25. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Gordon, salah, Laporte & Nketiah/Dennis all good options DGW36?

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      All good except Dennis

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nketiah over Dennis then? Thought Dennis as hiting form
        And 2 nice fixtures

    When will we know about Man City double?

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Before this gw started, they said...

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Since not published yet, gw 37 perhaps more likely.

    3. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Must be a reason why hasn’t been announced for 36 yet. Suspect the league wanted it in for 37 so city/ Liverpool both play same time and title race continues as long as possible and city preferring 36

      1. rokonto
        • 10 Years

  28. Feed tha Sheep

    I can have this team for GW36 for -4..

    Ramsdale
    Trent Robertson Laporte Alonso
    Salah Saka Foden Mount
    Kane Nketiah

    A. Good 36 team so FH37
    B. FH36 you can get better 36 team

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Excellent team for 36. Alonso possibly not ideal but even if he is SGW it’s fine.
