Team news

Leicester
Wilfried Ndidi and Jamie Vardy miss out, while Boubakary Soumare and Ayoze Perez have also been ruled out. Caglar Soyuncu returns.

Crystal Palace
Michael Olise is a doubt, having injured his foot on international duty, and Chiekhou Kouyate limped off against Arsenal but both could be in the squad. Patrick Vieira revealed Nathan Ferguson is the only definite absentee.

Match preview

Crystal Palace are unbeaten in seven matches as they prepare to head to Leicester on Sunday and the Eagles can extend that run with another positive result at the King Power.

Leicester have picked up the majority of their points at home, averaging 1.71 points per game, but that drops to 0.93 on the road. They have also only lost once in their last eight home league games.

However, the Foxes will no doubt have one eye on Thursday night’s Europa Conference League second leg against PSV given Brendan Rodgers has stated his desire to win the competition.

That is likely to see a rotated Foxes side against Palace with the quarter-final delicately poised at 0-0 following the first leg. There have been suggestions that Jonny Evans and Wesley Fofana could be rested which would help Palace.

Jean-Philippe Mateta and Wilfried Zaha have each scored in three of Palace’s last four games and could capitalise against a potentially makeshift Leicester defence.

Key stat

Crystal Palace have kept four clean sheets in a row in all competitions, which includes games against Manchester City and Arsenal.
