THE LOWDOWN
CRYSTAL PALACE
- Crystal Palace will have been devastated to have conceded an equaliser deep into injury time, which denied them victory against bitter rivals Brighton last Monday night, but the Eagles do remain unbeaten at Selhurst Park this season in the Premier League.
- Patrick Viera has almost a full-strength squad to choose from for this game, with Eberechi Eze and Nathan Ferguson the only absentees, whilst new signing Michael Olise will be hoping to make his first start of the season on the wing here.
LEICESTER
- Leicester’s run without a Premier League victory extended to three matches last weekend after they were forced to come from behind twice to force a 2-2 draw with Burnley thanks to a Jamie Vardy brace after the striker’s own goal had given Burnley an early lead.
- After appearing on the bench against Burnley, centre-backs Jonny Evans could be in line for his first Premier League start of the season, although he missed Leicester's trip to Legia Warszawa in the Europa League due to illness, whilst fellow defenders Wesley Fofana and James Justin remain out.

THE PREDICTION
Leicester find themselves under pressure to get back to winning ways having only picked up three points once in their six league games so far this season. In Crystal Palace they face an opponent who have proven kind to them over recent encounters with the Foxes having beaten Palace in three of their last four games, with the other ending in a draw. When taking into account the quality within the visiting squad then they are more than capable of triumphing at Selhurst Park. However, questions remain over their fitness levels following their Europa League defeat away at Legia only three days before this match. For that reason, caution is advised and backing Leicester via the draw no bet market provides a satisfactory level of insurance.
Tip: LEICESTER DRAW NO BET
