Crystal Palace Preview – Can Palace tighten up?
Having not only suffered back-to-back defeats in recent weeks in the Premier League to Liverpool 7-0 and the 3-0 loss to Aston Villa on Boxing Day, Monday afternoon’s hosts, Crystal Palace, have also conceded a total of 10 goals in these last two matches and they’ll be facing a Leicester City outfit who are no strangers to scoring goals.
In fact, Palace have failed to win any of their last four matches overall in the top flight as they previously drew with both Tottenham and West Ham, while The Eagles have picked up just the one win out of their last seven matches overall.
This win came in the shape of a 5-1 win away at West Brom but Palace have struggled at Selhurst Park where they’ve managed to win just two of their seven matches and have lost to Everton, Newcastle United and Liverpool.
Leicester City Preview – Can Leicester climb into 2nd spot?
Having picked up four points from their last two matches in the Premier League, Monday afternoon’s visitors, Leicester City, have jumped into 3rd place in the top flight and The Foxes could move up into 2nd spot if they take all three points in the nation’s capital.
After suffering back-to-back defeats against Liverpool and Fulham towards the end of November, Leicester City have lost just one of their last five matches overall which was a 2-0 loss to high-flying Everton but wins against Sheffield United, Brighton and a 2-0 win away at Tottenham have seen Leicester produce a resurgence in recent weeks.
In addition, results away from home have been impressive for Leicester who have won six of their seven away matches to date and will fancy their chances against a wobbling Crystal Palace outfit here.
