Read our privacy policy The Leeds United defender Stephen Crainey knows tonight's game against Crystal Palace at Elland Road is one they must win as they look to move within a point of the automatic promotion places in the Championship. Leeds are four points behind Sheffield United - who are second - despite collecting only two points from their last two games. "The boys are a bit disappointed because we've now dropped four points in the last two games and when you consider the other teams have also dropped points, we really want to be winning," he said.
