Crystal Palace have won 3 of their last 6 home fixtures against Leicester.

Crystal Palace Form

Palace were unbeaten in 12 consecutive matches at the end of the 2023/24 campaign and into pre-season. Oliver Glasner’s side won nine during this streak.

The Eagles started the new Premier League season with a 2-1 loss at Brentford and a 2-0 defeat to West Ham. Palace responded by 4-0 thrashing Norwich 4-0 at home in the EFL Cup.

Glasner’s outfit kept the positivity rolling with a 1-1 comeback draw at Chelsea before the international break. The Eagles conceded mid-way through the first half and Eberechi Eze equalised just after half time.

Leicester Form

Steve Cooper hasn’t made the best start as Leicester’s new boss. The Foxes ended pre-season with three successive defeats before drawing 1-1 at home with Tottenham in the Premier League.

The Midlands side lost their following game 2-1 at Fulham before comfortably beating Tranmere 4-0 in the EFL Cup.

Cooper’s side were second-best in a 2-1 home loss against Aston Villa last time out, allowing 2.16 XG. Villa’s goals in each half did the damage and Facundo Buonanotte’s 72nd-minute strike came too late to spark a comeback.

Leicester Injuries

Forward Patson Daka and goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk have been ruled out of the Palace clash.

Verdict

Crystal Palace v Leicester

Crystal Palace’s results haven’t matched their positive performances this season and something is building for the Eagles. Leicester look unconvincing with Cooper at the helm and the South Londoners can take advantage.
