Latest Leicester vs Crystal Palace team information
Leicester continue to face personnel concerns. First-choice goalkeeper Hermansen remains absent, with Stolarczyk continuing in goal, with Ward sidelined after an unconvincing display earlier in the day. Vestergaard is in danger of missing the game through injury, adding to the defensive woes. However, the return of McAteer is a bright spot, having missed the previous game. Meanwhile, Ndidi, Pereira and Fatawu remain sidelined.
Palace face similar challenges, particularly in midfield, with Wharton and Hughes undergoing treatment. Doucoure and Lerma will take on the midfield roles. The outbreak spread last week, forcing Henderson out of the FA Cup, but Lacroix, Mitchell and Mateta have recovered and could return. Mateta, in particular, could return to the starting line-up after Nketiah's lacklustre display.

Latest football commentary on Leicester vs Crystal Palace
Leicester have just come off a thumping 6-2 win over QPR, but before that they have suffered five straight defeats - the longest losing streak of any team this season under Van Nistelrooy. Their defensive woes have not improved despite the wins, with goals conceded even when they have taken the three points.
History is threatening them with the risk of losing 6 consecutive matches and conceding at least 2 goals, something that has not happened since 2001. Currently, they have the worst clean sheet record in Premier League history, keeping only 2 clean sheets in the last 43 matches. Being overtaken by Ipswich, Leicester dropped to 19th place, only 2 points away from the safe zone. A win against Palace will help them get out of the danger zone and put pressure on Ipswich, who are playing quite erratically. However, with a goal difference of -19, escaping the bottom 3 is completely a distant goal, and the short-term goal is to try to rise to 17th place for Palace. Home advantage also needs to be taken advantage of when Leicester are unbeaten in the last 4 matches against Palace at King Power, of which they won 3. Despite losing the first leg due to an equalizer in injury time, Leicester will probably aim for revenge this time.
On the other hand, Palace are unbeaten in five away games. Despite only having won one of their last nine games against Leicester, their unbeaten run away from home is a source of great confidence. Only twice in their history have Palace managed six away games unbeaten, both before the Premier League was established. With a five-point gap above the relegation zone, Palace must strengthen their position. They will see the Leicester game as a good opportunity to pick up three points, especially with upcoming opponents like West Ham and Brentford out of form. However, Palace will still need to put in a more convincing performance, following their difficult FA Cup win over Stockport County last weekend.
