CRYSTAL PALACE TEAM NEWS: CHALOBAH JOINS RIAD IN THE TREATMENT ROOM, HOLDING TRAINS ALONE
Centre-back Chadi Riad, who is out for another two to three months with a knee issue, has been joined on the sidelines by Trevoh Chalobah, although the latter is not expected to be out for as long.
Rob Holding has been training separately due to what appears to be an off-the-field issue, so it remains to be seen when the ex-Arsenal man returns to the squad.
PREDICTED XI (3-4-2-1): Henderson; Clyne, Guehi, Richards; Munoz, Wharton, Hughes, Mitchell; Kamada, Eze; Mateta
UNAVAILABLE: Riad (Injured), Chalobah (Injured), Franca (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Jorgensen (Injured), Holding (Out of favour)
LEICESTER TEAM NEWS: EDOUARD INELIGIBLE AGAINST THE EAGLES
Jakub Stolarczyk and Patson Daka are out, while Odsonne Edouard will not be involved as the striker is ineligible to take to the field against his former club.
Bobby De Cordova-Reid was a late returner from international duty with Jamaica so Steve Cooper may play it cautiously with the 31-year-old.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Hermansen; Justin, Okoli, Faes, Kristiansen; Skipp, Ndidi, Winks; Fatawu, Vardy, Ayew
UNAVAILABLE: Stolarczyk (Injured), Daka (Injured), Edouard (Ineligible)
QUESTIONABLE: De Cordova-Reid (Rested)
CRYSTAL PALACE VS LEICESTER PREDICTION
Crystal Palace and Leicester each sit on one point apiece at this early stage of the season, although neither manager will be panicking just yet given the relatively difficult set of fixtures they have been given to date.
Palace have conceded in all three of their league fixtures, while both teams have found the net in Leicester's three league outings. With that in mind, all signs point to both teams getting on the scoresheet in this one.
