soccernet.espn.go.com/preview?id=195161&cc=5739KO - 19:45 UK - Elland RoadMatthew Kilgallon is expected to retain his place at the heart of the Leeds defence for the visit of Crystal Palace. The 22-year-old made his first appearance since damaging knee ligaments against Wigan in January in the 1-1 draw at Coventry due to Sean Gregan's suspension. Gregan sits out the last of his two-game ban after receiving his 10th booking of the season the previous week against Norwich. Striker David Healy did his chances of a return to the starting line-up no harm with the equalising penalty at Coventry, with manager Kevin Blackwell to choose between the Northern Ireland international, Robbie Blake and Rob Hulse. Blackwell has no new injury or suspension problems, but Richard Cresswell (knee) and Frazer Richardson (hamstring) remain sidelined. Crystal Palace boss Iain Dowie has reported no fresh injury worries and will welcome back Michael Hughes to the fold. Hughes missed the draw with Ipswich with a minor knock but returned to training on Monday and is in the squad, while Palace picked up no new injuries from the encounter with the Tractor Boys. Marco Reich played the last three minutes of the Selhurst Park draw after recovering from a foot injury and came through unscathed, while Tony Popovic is also in contention after a back injury. Danny Granville (knee) and Danny Butterfield (pelvis) remain on the long-term casualty list.
