Leeds United have been handed the opportunity to give themselves a big Premier League boost ahead of Sunday afternoon’s clash at Crystal Palace.

The Whites began the weekend in 12th place and only dropped one place in the table through Saturday’s games as AFC Bournemouth recorded a 2-1 triumph at home to second-bottom Leicester City.

Victory against the Foxes sent the newly-promoted Cherries rocketing up to eighth place and also above Brentford who now sit 12th after being walloped 5-1 at Newcastle United.

Leeds, though, could send themselves up six places to seventh with a victory at Crystal Palace and above arch rivals Manchester United given the Whites goal difference of zero.

The seventh-placed Red Devils have played the same amount of games as Leeds but have a minus three goal difference ahead of their clash at 11th-placed Everton on Sunday night (7pm).

The Toffees are one point above Leeds but having played one game more.

Liverpool are tenth and one point above the Whites but on the same amount of games played and Jurgen Klopp’s side take on Arsenal at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon (4.30pm).

Fulham are ninth and two points ahead of Leeds but having played a game more and the Cottagers visit West Ham United at the same time as Leeds face Palace (2pm).

The weekend’s action is completed on Monday evening when 14th-placed Aston Villa travel to bottom side Nottingham Forest.
