Crystal Palace v Leicester
Venue: Selhurst Park
Kick off: 3PM
Crystal Palace and Leicester will look to move further away from the Premier League relegation zone when they go head to head on Saturday (today).
Palace’s 3-0 win over Arsenal on Monday Night Football was their fifth Premier League victory in six games, and that run leaves them on 34 points – six above the relegation zone and with a game in hand over 18th-placed Swansea.
Sam Allardyce will hope his side can continue their impressive form against a Leicester team who have earned just one away win all season.
The Foxes have themselves risen dramatically up the table with Craig Shakespeare guiding them to six straight wins in all competitions.
However, a narrow loss to Everton was followed by defeat at Atletico Madrid, whom they face in the Champions League quarter-final return leg on Tuesday.
Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare is likely to rest some players ahead of their European clash and Jamie Vardy, Christian Fuchs and Yohan Benalouane could all be kept fresh. Nampalys Mendy has an ankle injury.
Sam Allardyce on the other hand has won his last two home games against reigning Premier League champions as a manager, beating Manchester City with West Ham in 2014-15 and beating Chelsea with Sunderland in 2015-16.
Both Crystal Palace and Leicester have won 15 of a possible 18 points in their last six Premier League games – the only side to have won more points in their last six PL matches are Spurs (18).
Crystal Palace Possible XI: Hennessey, Ward, Kelly, Sakho, Schlupp, Cabaye, Milivojevic, Puncheon, Zaha, Benteke, Townsend.
Leicester Possible XI: Schmeichel, Simpson, Okasaki, Huth, Wasilewski, Chilwell,
Gray, King, Drinkwater Albrighton, Slimani.
