Crystal Palace and Leicester City will square off today in the Premier League after both sides got huge wins in the last round.
Crystal Palace in undefeated since Neil Warnock took over 3 rounds ago and will be buoyed by their 3-2 win at Everton last round. However, it was only the first win in the league for Palace, it was EXTREMELY lucky and today`s hosts went on to lose 2-3 to Newcastle in extra time in the League Cup a couple of days ago. Maybe Palace is better than expected after Tony Pulis` departure, but clearly they still have many issues to sort out and the overall lack of quality in the squad makes them sure relegation contenders.
Leicester City is on the back of a famous 5-3 win against Manchester United, coming back from a 1-3 deficit. The win came to confirm what was already known – Leicester is the brightest surprise of the Premier League so far. The visitors are coming after a brilliant winning campaign in the Championship last season and have lost just once so far in the Premier League despite meeting the likes of Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United in the first 4 rounds. Even their sole defeat at Chelsea came after an excellent performance by Leicester.

Team news & lineups
Crystal Palace has a clean bill of health ahead of this match, while Leicester will only miss Upson.
Crystal Palace: Speroni – Ward, Kelly, Dann, Delaney – Jedinak, Ledley, Puncheon, McArthur – Zaha, Campbell
Leicester: Schmeichel – Morgan, Konchesky, De Laet, Moore – Hammond, Cambiasso, Drinkwater – Vardy, Ulloa, Nugent
Listen, there is a pretty sensible difference between these two sides at the moment. Leicester is no fluke, they are playing great football for over a year now and have performed admirably in all of their Premier League games. They are extremely well organized and disciplined, have individual talent as well and should prove too much for this shaky Palace side, even on the road. A draw is not out of the question but my analysis clearly suggests that Leicester has what it takes to win this, and the odds are just great. My tip is Leicester to win with +0 asian handicap (draw no bet). Prediction: Crystal Palace – Leicester City 1-2.
Pick: Leicester City (+0 Asian Handicap)
