James Tomkins included in Crystal Palace predicted XI ahead of Leeds United clash

Leeds United travel down to Selhurst Park to face Crystal Palace but with them missing numerous key players, Patrick Vieira will have a tough time on his hands picking a starting XI.

Palace suffered a few injuries over the past week, and will be without Nathaniel Clyne and Joachim Anderson for this weekend's fixture.

Both sides find themselves in the bottom half of the table and Palace could move level on points with the Whites if they're able to get all three points.

James Tomkins will need to come into the defence after Anderson was injured during training last week and will be paired up with Marc Guehi who is just one of two players, alongside goalkeeper Vincent Guaita, to have played every minute of this season.

The three in the midfield will stay the same as Vieira's choices against Chelsea - Eberechi Eze, Cheick Oumar Doucoure and Jeffrey Schlupp seemed to overrun the midfield of the Blues before changes made late on in the second half by Graham Potter changed that.

After his goal against Chelsea last weekend, Odsonne Edouard will keep his place in the starting line-up alongside wingers Wilfried Zaha and Jordan Ayew - both of which have been two of Palace's best this season.

Predicted line-up : Guaita; Mitchell, Guehi, Tomkins, Ward; Schlupp, Doucoure, Eze; Zaha, Edouard, Ayew.
