Leicester City XI vs Crystal Palace Predictions: Leicester City line-up

Leicester City will welcome Crystal Palace to the King Power Stadium on Saturday as Claude Puel looks to get back on winning track.

The Foxes are winless in the last five Premier League games, which has put Puel under enormous pressure. Puel, known for calm demeanor, will be desperate to beat the Eagles and ease some pressure off his shoulders.

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, come into Saturday’s game after booking a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals by beating Doncaster 2-0.

Team News

Marc Albrighton and Daniel Amartey have already been ruled out for the season.

Puel has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the game.
