Two sides competing near the bottom of the Premier League table meet at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday, when Leicester City host Crystal Palace.
Leicester City:
Leicester are desperate to end their five-game Premier League losing streak, which has left them languishing in 19th place. Despite a confidence-boosting 6-2 FA Cup victory over QPR, defensive frailties remain glaring, as the Foxes have now conceded multiple goals in six straight matches. With just two clean sheets in their last 43 top-flight outings, Ruud van Nistelrooy's men need to tighten up at the back to climb out of the relegation zone. A win here could lift Leicester above the drop zone temporarily, but their minus-19 goal difference limits upward mobility. History is on their side, however, with the Foxes unbeaten in their last four home games against Palace.
Crystal Palace:
Palace sit five points above the relegation zone but are not safe yet. Oliver Glasner's side will aim to extend their unbeaten away run to six matches—a feat they have not achieved in the Premier League era. Their 2-2 comeback draw against Leicester in September showed resilience, and they’ll look to replicate that spirit here. While a narrow FA Cup win over Stockport County was unconvincing, it maintained momentum. With games against struggling West Ham and Brentford to follow, this is a prime chance for Palace to widen the gap to the bottom three. Improved consistency, especially in defense, will be key to avoiding a late-season scrap for survival.
