Crystal Palace v Leicester City: match preview

Crystal Palace v Leicester City
Crystal Palace v Leicester City: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Selhurst Park has been a graveyard for prospective Premier League champions in the past and despite Palace’s failure to record a league win so far in 2016, Leicester City will be wary of their trip to south London. Alan Pardew’s side have belied their struggles to reach the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in 21 years and, with Yannick Bolasie back on form, Palace could be a potential banana skin for the Foxes. Claudio Ranieri had a sausage, of all things, named after him this week by a local butcher but the Leicester manager knows this is no time to take anything for granted. Ed Aarons
