Crystal Palace vs Leicester: TV channel, live stream, team news & prediction

Crystal Palace and Leicester will look to move out of the bottom half when they face off on Sunday afternoon.

Of the two sets of supporters, it's Palace fans who are feeling happiest. Results have been a bit all over the place but there have been real signs of improvement over the past few weeks, including in last week's 1-1 draw with Brighton, in which they were seconds away from a fantastic victory.

Leicester, however, are in a bit of a rut. They're ahead in the table but falling well below par, with the Carabao Cup victory over Millwall their only win in the month of September.

Here's all you need to know about this one.

Crystal Palace team news

There are no fresh concerns for Patrick Vieira, who remains without long-term absentees Ebere Eze and Nathan Ferguson.

The boss is still searching for his preferred XI, so there could be a few changes in the offing, but there are no doubts that Wilfried Zaha and Player of the Month Conor Gallagher are going to start this one.

Leicester team news

Kelechi Iheanacho is in line to return to the squad after visa issues kept him out of the defeat to Legia Warsaw, while midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is expected to start after missing that one through suspension.

Centre-back Jonny Evans also did not travel to Poland because of an illness, but there is cautious optimism that he will be well enough to feature here.

Crystal Palace vs Leicester head-to-head record

Since the start of the 2019/20 season, this fixture has been dominated by Leicester, who have won three and drawn one of the last four meetings.

The last of those games came back in April and saw Leicester pick up a 2-1 win thanks to goals from Timothy Castagne and a Kelechi Iheanacho worldie.

Palace haven't won this fixture since February 2019, when they thumped Leicester to the tune of a 4-1 victory.

Crystal Palace vs Leicester score prediction

Palace took the game to Brighton last time out and deserved to take all three points, and if they can match that level of performance here, they'll give Leicester some significant problems.

Brendan Rodgers' side just haven't been good enough over the past few weeks. Their defensive woes have been a major concern and some frailties in midfield even surfaced against Legia, and Palace will be planning a way to take advantage of that.

On a normal day, Leicester should be winning this one fairly comfortably, but it's hard to look past Palace.

Prediction: Crystal Palace 2-1 Leicester
