Insights:
  • Crystal Palace have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Leicester City have scored in all their away matches so far.

Leicester City could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa League game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Legia Warszawa.

Crystal Palace form and stats

Crystal Palace have secured 5 points from their first three home games in the Premier League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Palace, who played 1-1 against Brighton & Hove Albion. That match was also played at this venue (Selhurst Park). Wilfried Zaha, a striker, was the declared top performer for the side in that game, scoring a rating of 7.31 (out of 10). Zaha scored one goal.

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Liverpool (0-3).

The Palace fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 3 matches. Palace have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.

Leicester City form and stats

Things could have gone better for Leicester City in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

There might be some fixture complaints from Leicester as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Europa League match against Legia Warszawa (0-1). Çağlar Söyüncü, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.32. Söyüncü won 10 of 13 duels.

Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Burnley in the Premier League.

Leicester are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 4 away goals from 3 games (in the league). For Leicester City, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Crystal Palace four wins, two draws and Leicester City four victories. As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three games had two or less.
