Leicester will be aiming to enhance their top-four credentials when Crystal Palace visit the King Power Stadium on Monday night.
The Foxes currently find themselves third in the Premier League table – four points clear of fourth-place Chelsea.
On the flip side, Crystal Palace are down in thirteenth place, having won just one of their previous six matches.
Leicester City put in a totally dominant display to see off West Brom 3-0 on Thursday, thanks to goals from Jamie Vardy, Jonny Evans and Kelechi Iheanacho.
Not only did Brendan Rogers’ men enjoy 73% possession against the Baggies, but they also racked up 17 shots.
Leicester have now won three of their last five Premier League games, having seen off Brighton and Sheffield United last month.
The visit of struggling Crystal Palace presents Leicester with the ideal chance to solidify their spot in the Champions League places.
Meanwhile, Roy Hodgson’s side have only managed to win one of their previous six Premier League matches.
Crystal Palace have been held to draws by Fulham, Manchester United and Everton in that time, while losing to Tottenham and Chelsea.
After losing 4-1 to Spurs last month, the Eagles lost to Chelsea by the same score in their previous match – conceding three goals in the opening 30 minutes.
Looking at the bigger picture, Palace have won just ten of their 31 league games this term – recording eight draws and 13 losses along the way.
It is also worth pointing out that only five teams in the Premier League have scored fewer goals than Hodgson’s men this season.
Head-to-head: The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture back in December. Wilfried Zaha gave Palace the lead, before Harvey Barnes equalised late on.
Having done the double over Palace last season, the Foxes are unbeaten in their last three meetings with the Eagles.
Team news: Leicester duo Harvey Barnes and James Justin look set to miss the remainder of the season through injury.
On the other hand, Nathan Ferguson, Connor Wickham and James McArthur are all currently sidelined for Crystal Palace.
Having qualified for the FA Cup final and enhanced their top-four hopes in midweek, Leicester will be brimming with belief at the moment.
Forebet predicts that Leicester will secure an easy win over Crystal Palace on Monday, scoring over 1.5 goals while keeping a clean sheet.
