Current Form: Leicester and Crystal Palace 

Leicester’s Season

Leicester’s challenging season sees them languishing in 19th place, having managed just three victories in their opening 20 matches. With only one clean sheet this campaign, defensive frailties have been a significant concern for the Foxes, highlighted by their 4-0 defeat to Newcastle earlier in the season.

Crystal Palace’s Season

Oliver Glasner’s side find themselves in a marginally better position in 15th place, though their form has been mixed. With four wins, nine draws, and seven defeats, consistency has been their main issue. Palace’s season has been marked by contrasts – from an impressive 3-1 win at Brighton to a heavy 5-1 defeat to Arsenal in their worst result of the season.

Leicester vs Crystal Palace: Recent Head-to-Head Meetings

Recent meetings between these sides suggest a closely fought contest is likely. The last five encounters have produced an even spread of results, with two wins each and a goalless draw. Their most recent meeting in September ended in a 2-2 draw at Selhurst Park, maintaining the pattern of tight contests between the sides.
