Leicester City hosts Crystal Palace in round 33 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, April 26th at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
Leicester City occupies an intermediate 3rd place in the standings and is only a couple of points ahead of its competitors in the struggle for a position in the quartet of the Premier League leaders. Brendan Rogers's charges lost to Manchester City and West Ham in important matches, giving the competitors a chance to displace themselves from the third line. The game of the Foxes looks balanced, but the defense sometimes makes too many mistakes in the penalty area. Leicester's offensive actions are based on Vardy's goal-scoring talent, as well as the speedy work of Barnes and Maddison. Iheanacho has significantly stepped up recently. Moreover, Tielemans and Ndidi do a lot of work in midfield.

Roy Hodgson's charges had a good season for themselves, having managed to gain a foothold in the middle of the standings. Now Crystal Palace is in 13th place in the Premier League table, and the maximum that it can rise to is the 9th line. The Glaziers have problems with attacking actions and try to work from a strict defense in most matches. In the last five rounds, Crystal Palace managed to gain only one victory over West Bromwich Albion. The Eagles are one of the oldest teams in the league (29.5 years old is the average age of players). Zaha, Milivojevic, Eze, Kouyate, and Van Aanholt are the key players of the team.
In the first half of the season, the teams played in a 1-1 draw. In terms of tournament situation, Leicester looks like a much more motivated team than Hodgson's charges, who are unlikely to significantly change their final place at the end of the season. Leicester will only play to win, with good ball possession and a lot of scoring chances created.
Prediction for the match: Leicester City to win
