Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch is speaking to the media this afternoon ahead of his team’s trip to Crystal Palace this weekend

Leeds United’s fixture list pits Jesse Marsch against an old foe in Patrick Vieira this weekend as the Whites take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

The pair previously did battle in opposing dugouts during their overlapping spell in the United States with New York Red Bulls and New York City FC, respectively.

Now, in charge at established Premier League teams, the two coaches will lock horns once again as Marsch makes a return to the touchline having served his one-match suspension.
