Defeat with a score of 1:4 against Arsenal led to the sacking of Patrick Vieira as the coach of Crystal Palace after leading his team to 11 losses in 12 games of the English Premier League. No team has shown such a comparable series since Middlesbrough in 2017, which eventually led to their relegation from the Premier League. Nevertheless, Vieira’s dismissal opened the door for the return of the oldest coach in the League – 75-year-old Roy Hodgson. The new coach publicly urged his players to show “energy, enthusiasm, optimism, and fearlessness” during the game against their fellow contenders from Leicester City. In 28 matches, the “Eagles” have six victories and nine draws, which correspond to 27 points and 12th place. Guaita, Ferguson, and Johnston, who has a leg injury, will not be able to take to the football field today.
Only one point separates the “Foxes” from the relegation zone ahead of this clash, but the authorities at the club have decided to keep manager Brendan Rodgers in place despite mounting pressure on him throughout the campaign. Rodgers called their draw with Brentford (1-1) a “very important moment” for the club, but they need more from this game as failing to secure all three points will open the door for West Ham or Southampton to leapfrog them on Sunday. Seven wins and four draws correspond to 25 points and 17th place in the league table. Evans, Soumare, Tielemans, and Bertrand will miss today’s game, with the latter suffering from a knee injury.
