Crystal Palace Team News<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Oliver Glasner said he was \u2018hopeful\u2019<\/a> that Daniel Munoz will be able to play some part on Sunday, but it will depend on whether he is able to \u2018fully train\u2019 on Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jean-Phillipe Mateta could be in line to make his long-awaited return to the squad against Leeds, with the Palace boss saying: \u201cWe have just one league game and one Conference League game this month, it was the plan now to get him back and have him available.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the Frenchman could get \u2018a few minutes\u2019 as he looks to build his match fitness, and suggested that the forward could eventually be played alongside Jorgen Strand Larsen to give them additional firepower up front.<\/span><\/p>\n

On his hopes for the remainder of the season, the Austrian said: \u201cWe will try to get as many points as possible. I always want more than the season before.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can achieve it, I don\u2019t know right now, but we will definitely go into every single game to get the win.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Leeds United Team News<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Dominic Calvert-Lewin remains a doubt for the weekend, although Daniel Farke did say<\/a> he is \u2018carefully optimistic\u2019 that his key man will be available. A late fitness test will likely determine how much of a part the England striker can play.<\/span><\/p>\n

Noah Okafor is a \u2018major doubt\u2019 due to a hip injury, with the Swiss international unable to train on Friday.<\/span><\/p>\n

When asked how many points his side required to avoid the drop, Farke said: \u201cSeven to nine points are needed to stay in this league.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe know in order to do this, there is still work needed, good performances needed. We are focused like always.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On Crystal Palace, he said: \u201cOne thing is for sure, they will not underestimate us. It\u2019s always the same when you win the first leg in the season. We have to be on it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
