Palace can enhance survival hopes by holding Leicester

3pm Saturday

Crystal Palace are inching their way towards safety and may settle for a point against Leicester at Selhurst Park.

Ninth-placed Leicester, who have little hope of European qualification and no fear of the drop, might seem like ideal opponents at this stage of the season.

But they have talented players, especially in attack, and can hold their own against the Eagles, who rely on Wilfried Zaha.

Palace drew 0-0 at Watford last Saturday and another stalemate would be a decent result for them.

Recommendation
Draw
1pt 13-5 general
