THE LOWDOWN
LEICESTER
- The 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth was hugely disappointing given that the Foxes looked like they had turned a corner when they thrashed Nottingham Forest the week prior, and Brendan Rodgers will be urging his side to immediately bounce back here.
- Jonny Evans is suffering with a tight calf and will be assesseD for his availability ahead of the game, while Timothy Castagne is a slight doubt with a bruised eye but Brendan Rodgers was positive about his involvement.
CRYSTAL PALACE
- Crystal Palace’s come-from-behind victory against Leeds last weekend ended their four-game winless run but Patrick Vieira’s men are still searching for their first away win of the Premier League season.
- Will Hughes will miss out through illness but Vieira may well stick with a winning formula, although Tyrick Mitchell will be hoping for a recall at left-back after Jeffrey Schlupp deputised against Leeds.
THE TEAM NEWS
LEICESTER
PREDICTED XI (4-1-4-1): Ward; Castagne, Evans, Faes, Justin; Soumare; Maddison, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes; Daka
UNAVAILABLE: Bertrand (Injured), Pereira (Injured), Ndidi (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Evans (Injured), Castagne (Injured), Mendy (Fitness), Praet (Fitness)
CRYSTAL PALACE
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Guaita; Ward, Anderson, Guehi, Schlupp; Doucoure; Olise, Doucoure, Eze; Ayew, Edouard, Zaha
UNAVAILABLE: Clyne (Injured), McArthur (Injured), Hughes (Illness)
QUESTIONABLE: Butland (Fitness), Richards (Injured), Ferguson (Fitness)
THE PREDICTION
This fixture has all the ingredients for a high-scoring encounter, with exciting attacking players at both ends of the pitch. Leicester – with the in-form James Maddison in their ranks – will always be dangerous going forward but the fact remains that they have conceded more goals than any other side in the division at the time of writing. Their last four games have averaged 5.5 goals per game, and with Crystal Palace having kept just one clean sheet in the Premier League this season, backing both teams to score in the betting markets looks like a sensible move.
TIP: BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
