Leeds extend unbeaten start in Crystal Palace stalemate
VAR denied Palace a winner as Leeds kept their unbeaten league start intact with their second straight clean sheet.
- Leeds United extended their unbeaten start with a goalless draw against Crystal Palace at Elland Road on Sunday, September 20, 2026, in a fixture pushed back one day due to Palace's Europa League commitments.
- The teams arrived with contrasting preparations; Leeds enjoyed five days of rest following Monday's 4-1 win over Newcastle United, while Palace played Lech Poznan in the Europa League on Thursday.
- Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin spurned the hosts' best chance by firing straight at goalkeeper Walter Benitez, while Palace saw a second-half goal from Tyrick Mitchell ruled out by VAR for offside.
- Both sides managed significant absences, with Leeds missing winger Harry Wilson due to a quad injury, while Palace were without first-choice goalkeeper Dean Henderson and forward Jean-Philippe Mateta.
- The result maintains Leeds' unbeaten league record after five matches, sending manager Daniel Farke's side into the international break with eight points and a defensive stalemate that keeps survival hopes intact.
