A pivotal round in the Premier League arrives for Leicester City on Wednesday, as the Foxes face a must-win encounter against relegation rivals Crystal Palace.
Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side have dropped into the relegation places after losing five on the bounce in the top-flight. But, a return to winning ways this week could see them end the round outside of the bottom three.
Crystal Palace have eased their relegation worries after winning two of their last five. Meanwhile, they have avoided defeat in four matches over that period.
