It is the sort of early-season meeting that can begin to give the table a little shape. Five games is not enough to settle much, but it is enough for managers to know where the loose floorboards are.
Leeds will have home backing behind them at Elland Road, while Palace arrive for a fixture that offers both clubs another chance to add weight to their opening run of results.
With the line-ups settled and the warm-up under way, attention turns to the familiar Sunday business: the first whistle, the first tackle and, perhaps, the first sign of which side has found its rhythm.
