Daniel Farke insists the pressure is not rising on Leeds United in the Premier League run-in and that "the job is not done" ahead of travelling to Crystal Palace.

Leeds are 15th in the table on 31 points, but are just three above West Ham in 18th, and if other results go against them this weekend, they could slip closer to the relegation zone.

After a resurgence in December and early January, Farke's side have slipped somewhat in recent weeks, with just one win in their last seven top-flight games (D3 L3).

They have booked their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals after a win over Norwich City last weekend, but Farke says their focus is not slipping away from the Premier League.

"If you represent Leeds United, you always have pressure," he said.

"We are used to playing under pressure, winning points in each game. We know where we are in terms of what we want to achieve. We know the job is not done.

"Seven to nine more points are needed to stay in this league. We know, in order to do this, there is still work needed, good performances needed. We are focused like always."

Meanwhile, Palace are just two places above Leeds in the table but are still in with an outside chance of making a late push for the European places as they are just six points behind seventh.

They have alternated between wins and losses in their last five Premier League games, beating Tottenham 3-1 last time out, and come into this game on the back of a frustrating 0-0 with AEK Larnaca in the first leg of their Conference League last-16 tie.

But Oliver Glasner remains positive the Eagles can make a late push up the table if they can find consistency.

"We will try to get as many points as possible," he said. "I always want more than the season before.

"If we can achieve it, I don't know right now, but we will definitely go into every single game to get the win."

Leeds United – Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Against no side has Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored more Premier League goals than he has against Crystal Palace (seven).

That includes a brace in Leeds' 4-1 win in the reverse fixture. He is a doubt to feature on Sunday, but Farke is "carefully optimistic" he will be available.

MATCH PREDICTION: CRYSTAL PALACE WIN

Palace are unbeaten in their last seven home league games against Leeds (W4 D3) since a 2-1 loss in the Championship in March 2006.

But following their 4-1 win at Elland Road in December, Leeds are looking to complete the league double over Palace for the first time since 1994-95.

They could be helped by the fact that Palace have lost their last three Premier League games against promoted sides, starting with that loss in December. The last promoted side to do the double over the Eagles was Sheffield United in 2019-20.

Palace have won three of their last five Premier League games (L2), though, as many as they had in their previous 14 (D4 L7).

And Leeds are winless in their last 11 Premier League away games against London sides (D2 L9). However, they have drawn their last two visits, coming from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with Chelsea last time out in the capital.

OPTA WIN PROBABILITY

Crystal Palace – 47.7%

Draw – 26.1%

Leeds United – 26.2%
