Crystal Palace preview: Earned a draw against Chelsea
Despite a strong pre-season, the Eagles’ start to the new season has been underwhelming.
After consecutive losses to Brentford and West Ham, the Eagles managed a solid draw at Chelsea before the international break, but they are still searching for their first win.
Matheus Franca, Chadi Riad Dnanou, and Rob Holding are likely to be sidelined this weekend due to injury, but Adam Wharton is expected to make a return for the Eagles.
Predicted lineup: Henderson (GK), Clyne, Guehi, Munoz, Mitchell, Richards, Hughes, Kamada, Eze, Wharton & Mateta
Leicester preview: Suffered a close defeat at home to Villa
Leicester’s first three league matches have all been closely contested, yet the Foxes have secured only one point.
After a draw with Spurs on the opening day, Leicester suffered 2-1 losses to Fulham and Aston Villa, resulting in just one point from a possible nine.
Saturday’s visitors will be missing Jakub Stolarczyk and Patson Daka due to injury but might use the same starting lineup that played against Aston Villa.
Predicted lineup: Hermansen (GK), Faes, Justin, Okoli, Kristiansen, Winks, Ndidi, Skipp, Ayew, Vardy & Fatawu
