Leeds United XI vs Crystal Palace with Anton Stach and Calvert-Lewin out to prove point | OneFootball

Dominic Calvert-Lewin faces Crystal Palace looking to build on four goals in six matches, and he could end the weekend as the Premier League’s top scorer.

He has seven in 18 against Palace. Per Leeds Live, he is buoyed by an England call-up, as is Anton Stach after selection in Jurgen Klopp’s first Germany squad.

Both will aim to justify those calls. Calvert-Lewin will lead the line, with Stach likely to keep his right-side wide 10 role.

Noah Okafor has withdrawn from Switzerland duty, so will rest over the break. First he will try to build on his first goal of the season against Newcastle United from the other wide 10 slot.

Ethan Ampadu, bound for Wales, should partner Ao Tanaka, who is set to head to Japan. Tanaka’s strike sparked the opener against Newcastle, though it was not credited to him.

James Trafford keeps goal ahead of England duty. He is not yet number one but is edging closer to usurping Jordan Pickford, and fans will hope he avoids a repeat of the two charged-down clearances against Newcastle, even if his calmness remains an asset.

Fans may also want to see Jean-Matteo Bahoya make his Leeds bow after three unused outings. Harry Wilson is out with a quad injury and looks set to miss a number, perhaps all, of Wales’ upcoming fixtures.

Predicted XI, 3-4-2-1: Trafford, Justin, Elvedi, Muharemovic, Bogle, Ampadu, Tanaka, Gudmundsson, Stach, Okafor, Calvert-Lewin.
