The home side certainly had their chances, and will be frustrated they have allowed two points to slip in their opening fixture of 2026. For Leeds, it's a precious point that puts seven points between them and the relegation zone.

18:10 GMT - GOAL! Jean-Philippe Mateta has put Crystal Palace ahead at Selhurst Park! He got on the end of an inviting cross from Nathaniel Clyne to head home the opener. That's his eighth Premier League goal this season but his first since the end of November.

16:34 GMT - Here's how things will look at kick-off at Selhurst Palace.
