Crystal Palace vs Leicester: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 28th April 2018
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: Selhurst Park

Match Preview:

Crystal Palace have gone 3 games without defeat and lost just once in their last five and the fruits of their labour appear to have paid off. The Eagles were once odds on to get relegated but they look almost safe now on 35 points.

It’s still been squeaky bum time for the club who pulled off a thrilling 3-2 victory last time they were at home against Brighton. That victory wasn’t just important for three points in terms of position but also for confidence as it ended a 3 game losing streak at Selhurst Park.

After a good start to the year Leicester has gone 3 games without a win and seen Everton pass them. However there is just one point between the two sides and the Foxes will be looking to regain some credability after a difficult few weeks.

On the road, Leicester have lost 7 of their 17 games including losing 3 of their last five games and it seems that the club are simply not firing on all cynlinders. However they have been scoring goals, though this was ended when they could only draw 0-0 to Southampton at home in their last game.
