Can we keep this excellent start going with another home win against Crystal Palace?
As I keep saying, we need to win the home matches.

Leeds United maintained their unbeaten start to their Premier League campaign thanks to a hard-earned goalless draw at home against Crystal Palace.
After a first half of few clear-cut chances, the game sprung into life just after the restart with the visitors having three opportunities in quick succession.
Yeremy Pino almost found the bottom corner with a clever free-kick, only for goalkeeper James Trafford to get down quickly to push the ball away for a corner, with Jefferson Lerma shooting over from the following set-piece.
Daichi Kamada then fired narrowly wide before Palace thought they had scored through Tyrick Mitchell. But team-mate Anan Khalaili was ruled offside before he had crossed into the middle and the goal was disallowed.
Leeds best chance fell to Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but he could not mark his return to the England squad with a goal as Walter Benitez did superbly to save his well-struck effort from eight yards out.
Daniel Farke’s Leeds side, who came 14th last season on their return to the topflight, sit fifth so far in 2026-27, with two wins and three draws from their five league matches.
Not the result we would have wanted at home, but we are still unbeaten going into this long 3-week international break and with Everton have conceded the fewest goals in the Premier League this season.
Overall, a good start to the season and hope we can continue this after the long international break and don’t suffer any injuries from them.
Marching on together.
League position 5th after 5 games.
