Leeds United and Crystal Palace face off in yet another Premier League relegation six-pointer at Elland Road.

With nine teams battling to avoid the drop, the survival battle is impossible to call this season, and just one point separates Palace and Leeds ahead of their clash.

The Yorkshire club have hit a good run of form recently, picking up seven points from their last four games, while returning Palace boss Roy Hodgson led the Eagles to a 2-1 win over Leicester last time out that ended a 13-match winless streak.

The first meeting between the clubs this season went Palace’s way, the Londoners earning a 2-1 win at Selhurst Park in October.

Kick-off is at 2.00pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch the Premier League wherever you are.

VPN guide

Use a VPN to watch Premier League football from outside your country

If you’re out of the country for a Premier League fixture, then you won't be able to watch on your domestic streaming service as usual. The broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!) and blocks you from watching it. You can use a VPN to get around that, though, without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and will let you watch. And all the info going between is entirely encrypted, anonymous and safe – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there. For the Premier League, FourFourTwo currently recommends:

ExpressVPN
