Match Preview:

12^th and 13^th will go head to head in the early Saturday evening game in the Premier League. Even though there is just one place between Leicester and Crystal Palace there is 5 points difference. The Foxes have the opportunity to leave Palace and go 8 points clear of them or the gap could be just 2 points come Saturday evening.

Claude Puel’s team have been superb in fits and bursts this season but never shown consistency. However the club are facing their worst form of the season as they have lost 4 of their last 5 games coming into this one. Last weekend they were defeated at Tottenham 3-1. Their last home game ended in a 1-0 loss to Manchester United.

Crystal Palace are currently having a great run in the FA Cup and have made it to the quarter finals. This is in contrast to what has been a struggling season in the Premier League where they are 13^th place but still just 3 points from the drop. Form has been decent though where they have been able to pick up 5 points from their last 3 games and they have remained undefeated since losing 4-3 to Liverpool in January.

Away from home The Eagles have lost just 1 game in their past four and have scored 18 goals on the road, to put that into perspective that is just 1 goal less than what Chelsea have scored on the road.
