What happened. Crystal Palace held unbeaten Leeds to a goalless draw at Elland Road, producing a much-improved defensive display. The point lifts Palace one point clear of the relegation zone heading into the international break.

• Palace kept their first clean sheet after conceding 11 goals in their opening four league games.
• Tyrick Mitchell had a goal ruled out for offside after VAR confirmed Anan Khalaili was offside.
• Leeds, unbeaten after a 4-1 win over Newcastle, struggled to break down Palace's defence.

Palace will look to build on the defensive platform after a difficult opening month when they return from the international break.
