Crystal Palace have lost all of their last 13 Premier League games without Wilfried Zaha but they can show they are more than a one-man team by beating Leicester at Selhurst Park.

Zaha's importance to Palace is obvious, but the last of his three goals this season came in September.

Roy Hodgson has had a full week to work on an alternative plan and it is far from an impossible task for them defeat the Foxes, who hardly landed a glove on Tottenham during last Saturday's 2-0 defeat at the King Power Stadium.

Recommendation
Crystal Palace
