Leicester Team News
With Jamie Vardy in top form, Leicester have won 3 of their last 4 home games: 3-1 with Manchester United, 1-0 with Southampton and 3-0 with the WBA. Assisted by Kelechi Iheanacho, Vardy wreaks havoc on the opposing defenses, and Palace needs a perfect game to block the English goal scorer. Lately, Palace has suffered drastic defeats in the local derbies with Tottenham (1-4) and Chelsea (1-4), but managing precious draws with Manchester United (0-0) and Everton (1-1). The only victory was a 1-0 home win over the WBA, one of the weakest teams of the season. Last round, Leicester trained with the WBA, which they led 3-0 at the break.
In the round, Leicester managed only a draw at Selhurst Park (1-1), where Iheanacho missed a penalty in the 19th minute. Then Zaha opened the scoring for the red-blues (’58), but Harvey Barnes brought a point deserved the “foxes” in the 83rd minute. Leicester had won 2-0 and 3-0 in the previous two direct duels against Palace.
Crystal Palace Team News
With a slightly improvised defense, the “eagles” are on the 13th place (goal average 33-52) and, without impressing, they easily escaped relegation. The Londoners have had only one success in the last five stages, but even so they have remained in the middle of the hierarchy, over Southampton, Newcastle, Brighton and Burnley. Instead, Leicester are in 3rd place in the Premier League (goal average 58-37), with one point ahead of Chelsea and three over West Ham. With a less played match, the “foxes” can now take a decisive step: the distance to 7 points of “hammers”, in 5th place.
