Leicester Preview & Form
Leicester City will come into this match on the back of a 6-2 hammering over Championship side QPR at the weekend in the FA Cup third round. The Foxes are currently experiencing a dip in form as they have lost each of their last five consecutive matches and have remained winless in the last six league matches. Their most recent league matches ended in a 2-1 defeat against Aston Villa at Villa Park, and now Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s men need to start picking up points to battle their way from returning to the Championship next season. Currently, they sit 19th in the league standings with 14 points earned, three points away from the relegation zone.
Since the recent appointment of Ruud Van Nistelrooy, the Foxes have only tasted one win and have remained winless in his next three league games. Their most recent home games ended in a 2-0 defeat against the defending champions, Manchester City, with the result further indicating Leicester’s poor defensive performances, having conceded goals in each of Ruud’s home games.
Crystal Palace Preview & Form

Oliver Glasner’s side has now only suffered one loss in their last nine league matches, with the most recent league game ending in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Selhurst Park thanks to a late strike from their frontman Mateta. Currently the Eagles sit 15th in the league standings with 21 points, five points clear of the relegation zone.
