Vital Preview – Leicester v Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace’s Premier League season continues against Leciester at the King Power Stadium on Saturday; with this a traditional 3pm kick-off.

The away form for Palace has been brilliant this season so it’ll be hoped a reaction to defeat against West Ham, who in fairness have had an even better away record, at Selhurst Park can come against the Foxes….

However, they’ve had a fine season, so far, too!

Leicester Team News:

Leicester have key striker, in fairness duo, Jamie Vardy (wrist) and Jeff Schlupp (head) available after injuries were picked up last weekend.

Leonardo Ulloa (thigh) isn’t going to be fit to return for this one though.

Player to watch: Jamie Vardy

Palace Team News:

Alan Pardew will be without Dwight Gayle (suspension) after his sending off in defeat to West Ham with injury also keeping out Marouane Chamakh and Connor Wickham once again.

The Palace boss will turn to Chelsea loanee Patrick Bamford or Fraizer Campbell to come in for what would be rare starts for either.

Player to watch: Patrick Bamford (if he starts!)

Match Facts & Stats

Palace might have won both meetings last season, without Leicester scoring but in the last 25-matches between the sides, away from Selhurst Park, the Eagles can only claim five wins, losing 10 and drawing the other 10-matches.

With nine of the 12-matches away from home under Pardew won during his reign so far confidence will be high but even if a winning position is gained Palace will be wary as Leicester have fought back several times this season already.

Match Prediction:

Palace will hope for a positive result, but will this happen?

Whatever line up Pardew goes with expectancy will be high and ahead of the game we’re looking for your views on what way you think it will go, which obviously requires you to vote in the latest poll one of three ways….
