Goals from Jonathan Douglas and Jermaine Beckford has given Gary McAllister's side a comfortable lead - and in fairness the Elland Road side deserve their cushion against a lacklustre Palace.
Douglas latched on to a under hit Matt Lawrence headed back pass to tuck over Darryl Flahavan in the 13th minute to give Leeds an early advantage.
Palace enjoyed their fair share of possession - but as they have all season, looked toothless in the attacking third.
Beckford should have doubled the home side's lead on 32 minutes after his first time shot from a neat Neil Kilkenny free kick was well saved by Flahavan.
However, the pair combined from the resulting corner to give Leeds a two goal cushion after Beckford's towering header sailed past Flahavan just seconds later.
