Leicester vs Crystal Palace – FW Predictions
Leicester go in search of only their second win in the Premier League this season, a win they hope will take them off the bottom of the table and possibly out of the relegation zone completely. Crystal Palace provide the opposition in Saturday's early kick-off with Patrick Vieira's men looking to make it back-to-back wins following their 2-1 victory over Leeds last time out.

Over 2.5 Goals
If the recent history between these two teams and their overall performances over the last few weeks are anything to go by, we should be treated to plenty of goalmouth action this weekend. Four of the last five meetings between Leicester and Crystal Palace have produced over 2.5 goals, including their last encounter in April in which the Foxes ran out 2-1 winners in their own backyard. Five of the host's last six outings along with three of the visitor's last five fixtures have also witnessed at least three goals scored.
Patson Daka to Score
Daka's performances for Leicester this season have seen him dethrone Jamie Vardy are the first-choice striker for the Foxes. The Zambian international has scored 3-goals in the Premier League this season and only James Maddison has scored more for the Foxes. All of Daka's goals in the league have arrived in his last four matches and we're backing the former RB Salzburg striker to score against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Leicester looking to move off the bottom of the table
Leicester were away at Bournemouth last weekend where a goal from Daka after just 10-minutes handed the Foxes the lead. Despite going in 1-0 up at the break, Leicester failed to build on their lead and it ended up costing them dearly as the Cherries scored twice in the space of 3-minutes to secure a 2-1 victory.
Leicester Predicted Lineup: Ward, Evans, Castagne, Faes, Justin, Tielemans, Maddison, Soumaré, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes & Daka
Crystal Palace struggled to cope with Leeds' high press in the early stages at Selhurst Park, going a goal behind in the 10th-minute. However, against the run of play, the Eagles got back onto level terms when Edouard headed home in the 24th-minute. In the second half, Leeds' pressing system failed as the players tired and Palace got more and more into the game, eventually scoring the winning goal through Eze with 14-minutes left on the clock.
Crystal Palace Predicted Lineup: Guaita, Ward, Andersen, Guéhi, Schlupp, Eze, Doucouré, Olise, Ayew, Zaha & Édouard
