Leicester City v Crystal Palace: match preview

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

Leicester City and Crystal Palace are on fine runs of form and the latter would get out of the bottom three, for a day at least, with a draw. A problem Roy Hodgson has to solve though is Palace’s goal tally of zero from eight away games. Leicester, meanwhile, have only failed to score once at home this season against Manchester City. Hodgson should be very wary of baiting Claude Puel’s revitalised Foxes. Graham Searles
