Crystal Palace v Leicester predictions

Roy Hodgson has rejoined Crystal Palace as their manager for the rest of the season and will be hoping to make an immediate impact when they take on fellow strugglers Leicester at Selhurst Park.

A 12-match winless streak prompted Palace to dismiss Patrick Vieira before the international break and, along with Leicester, they have been dragged into a fierce relegation battle in this term's Premier League.

Already this contest is being labelled as a six-pointer and it is likely to be the first of many for Palace with eight of their remaining ten league games against teams in the bottom half.

It is tough to make a case for either team going into this match, though, with Leicester having been on a six-match winless run themselves before the international break.

The draw could be the way to go - these sides shared the spoils in a 0-0 stalemate at the King Power Stadium in October.

Key stat

These clubs have drawn 13 Premier League matches between them this season.

Probable teams

Crystal Palace (4-3-3): Guaita; Ward, Tomkins, Guehi, Mitchell; Schlupp, Doucoure, Lokonga; Olise, Ayew, Zaha.

Leicester (4-2-3-1): Iversen; Pereira, Souttar, Faes, Castagne; Dewsbury-Hall, Ndidi; Tete, Maddison, Barnes; Iheanacho.
