Crystal Palace had an extremely mediocre season. The Glaziers were eliminated from the FA Cup at the stage of the 1/32 finals, missing to Wolverhampton in the next round (0:1). In the national championship, the London team did not solve global problems either, steadily admitting misfires, which prevented them from claiming a place near the European competition zone. Having protected themselves from the struggle for survival, Roy Hodgson’s squad began to finish the championship. So, in April Crystal Palace suffered three defeats in a row, losing to Chelsea (1:4), Leicester (1:2) and Manchester City (0:2). The last local successes of the team fell on the matches with Aston Villa (3:2) and Sheffield United (2:0), between which they lost to Southampton (1:3). Defenders Nathaniel Kline and Mamadou Sako, as well as midfielder James MacArthur, will not play for hosts today due to injuries.
Leicester are now in a great emotional state. Last Saturday the Foxes won the FA Cup for the first time in their history with a victory over Chelsea. However, in the current championship Brendan Rogers’ wards are now in a difficult situation. Leicesters are currently third in the Premier League. They have 66 points to their credit. Leicester are four points behind Manchester United. The Foxes are just two points ahead of Chelsea and three points ahead of Liverpool. However, if they lose this round, they risk ending up in fifth place if Liverpool win in a side-by-side match. The leader will be determined by the difference between the scored goals conceded. Although the fate of the fourth line may be decided in the final round, in which Leicester hosts Tottenham. At the same time, Brendan Rogers’ charges are playing well this season. In the last round at a party, they defeated Manchester United (2:1). This is the 11th victory for the Leicestershire team in 18 away games in the current championship. In another five they drew and suffered only two defeats from Liverpool (0:3) and West Ham (2:3). Overall, Leicester has the third best away game in the current championship in England. Midfielder Harvey Barnes and defenders James Justin, Johnny Evans will not play this season due to long-term injuries. So, what is the accurate football predictions ?
