Leicester v Crystal Palace: match preview

The Foxes’ struggles for consistency in an injury-hit season for Jamie Vardy have seen them refamiliarising themselves with mid-table surroundings. Brendan Rodgers’s unfortunate assessment of his main forward’s prognosis (“It’s just when he’s striking the ball there is an issue”) suggests a run-in where Kelechi Iheanacho, Patson Daka and Harvey Barnes must weigh in more and improve on their combined tally of 10 league goals. Palace may be only one place better off having played two more games, but they were merciless in beating Arsenal, are unbeaten in seven and look like a side peering up rather than down.
