Leicester v Crystal Palace: match preview

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

Crystal Palace will have had over two weeks’ rest by the time they travel to Leicester on Monday so it will be interesting to see whether they are rusty or recharged against Brendan Rodgers’ side, who in that time followed up victory in the FA Cup semi-finals with an impressive dismantling of West Brom. Leicester appear to be back in their groove, with James Maddison making a successful return to action and Jamie Vardy and Kelechi Iheanacho continuing to thrive together up front. Sometimes this season Leicester have struggled to penetrate defences who sit deep at the King Power but there is good reason to believe they will find ways through Palace. Paul Doyle
