Let's siege the Palace!

Leeds head to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace this Easter Monday off the back of a goalless draw against Reading on Friday night. Simon Grayson's young United side fell out of the play-off positions for the first time since early December. It couldn't be closer to decide you secures 6th spot and that final play-off spot with Notts Forest, Leeds and Burnley all tied on 66 points with just goal difference separating the sides. Even if all three teams win Leeds will return into the top 6 if they go 1 goal better than Forest during today's round of fixtures.

Leeds put in a valiant performance to end Reading's 8 game winning streak, the Whites did everything but score. That could be result of the absence of top scorer Luciano Becchio. He remains a doubt for today's clash. Grayson may consider a change after the fans got frustrated with the performance of Billy Paynter. With only two short days to recover and prepare Grayson is expected to ring the changes.

It's everything or nothing for Leeds now, with Burnley and QPR as their last two fixtures it is a must win if they are to keep the dream of a return to the Premier League alive.
