Leeds United could be without a number of first-team players when they take on Crystal Palace this weekend.
Jesse Marsch's side make the trip to Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon and arrive without a win in their last four Premier League games.
The Eagles are also without a win in four, with Patrick Vieira's side falling to a last minute winner from former loanee Conor Gallagher last weekend when they hosted Chelsea in south London.

The visit of Leeds offers Palace the chance to shoot up the table and the injuries the Whites are currently carrying could give the hosts the edge in what is expected to be a tight game.
Confirmed absentees for Leeds so far are Stuart Dallas [femoral fracture], Archie Gray [toe] and Luis Sinisterra [suspension] while Adam Forshaw, Cody Drameh and Leo Hjelde are doubts heading into the game.
"Archie Gray had an incident at home where he stubbed his toe and he kind of fractured a little bit of his big toe,” Marsch said before last weekend’s clash with Aston Villa via the Yorkshire Evening Post. "He's been out of training for about two weeks and he'll be out for probably another two weeks.
"Stuart is making really good recovery. He went down to see a specialist and they're feeling like he's doing really well and on track. Obviously, it'll still be some time for him."
Hjelde missed the last fixture, a 5-3 Papa John’s Trophy win over Tranmere Rovers, with a sickness bug while Drameh withdrew from from the game late following a knock.
Forshaw missed last weekend's Villa game with a twisted ankle with Marsch saying last week that it 'wasn't bad'.
