Leeds stay unbeaten after a draw with Crystal Palace

Leeds United extended their unbeaten Premier League run to five matches following a goalless draw against Crystal Palace.

Daniel Farke expressed mixed feelings after his team failed to secure all three points at Elland Road. The hosts had the best chance of the match when Dominic Calvert James saw a close range shot saved by Walter Benitez. Leeds remain undefeated in their opening five league fixtures and sit fifth in the table.

Betting market impact

Punters backing Leeds in the outright markets might see their odds drift slightly after failing to break down a well organised opponent. However, their solid defensive start keeps them shorter in top half finish markets. Bettors looking at upcoming fixtures will note their next match is away against reigning champions Arsenal.

Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage took positives from the clean sheet despite his side remaining down in fifteenth place. The visitors thought they had scored through Tyrick Mitchell before a VAR review for offside ruled the effort out. Palace supporters and match punters will take encouragement from the defensive resilience shown away from home.

Looking ahead

Both managers will use the international break to prepare their squads for the upcoming block of fixtures. Bettors assessing Premier League relegation markets will keep a close eye on Palace as they try to turn draws into wins. Meanwhile, Leeds must maintain their defensive consistency when they face tougher opposition next month.
