Crystal Palace Preview – Can Vieira pick up second Eagles win?
Patrick Vieira has made a steady enough start at Crystal Palace. So far, the Eagles have picked up one league victory, drawn three times and suffered two defeats. They have had some tough games, already playing the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool. They have also faced in-form West Ham United and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Palace were seconds away from securing a vital victory over their bitter rivals Brighton last Monday night. However, Neal Maupay capitalised on a goalkeeping error to give the Seagulls a share of the spoils at the death. The performance will have pleased Vieira, though.
The south Londoners could do with a win after claiming just one victory from their opening six. Selhurst will no doubt be a tough place to visit this season, and Palace are priced at 21/10 to win this one.
Leicester City Preview – Will the Foxes seal first league victory in four?
Leicester City have finished fifth in the last two seasons, missing out on UEFA Champions League football on the final day two years running. Can the Foxes finally break into the top four this term?
Brendan Rodgers’ men have made an indifferent start to their 2021-22 campaign. They make the trip to the capital this weekend having lost four of their last eight in all competitions. In midweek, they were beaten in the Europa League by Legia Warsaw.
