Important fight in the "wrong" end of the Premier League, with both Leicester City and Crystal Palace undergoing more angst than delight. This match is a typical "six-pointer" with the host team placed 19th and the visiting team in 15th position.
- Leicester City have the most conceded goals (24) in Premier League
- Crystal Palace have yet to win a game away.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
