Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Crystal Palace and Leicester City go head to head at Selhurst Park in what is expected to be a close Premier League encounter. The Eagles have been totally unpredictable in the first half of the season, but they have always been tough to beat at home ground. A man to watch in the home team will be Wilfried Zaha, while both Eze and Ferguson remain in the recovery room.
The Foxes, on the other hand, came from behind to share the spoils with Burnley, with Jamie Vardy scoring a brace. The team’s top scorer returns to the starting XI after he was rested in the Europa League clash against Legia, while all Justin, Fofana, and Mendy are sidelined with injuries. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in London as Palace did well to crush Tottenham in front of home fans earlier in the process.
