Leicester City play Crystal Palace at home this weekend.
Struggling Leicester City host Crystal Palace this weekend at the King Power Stadium, and it is unlikely there will be many selection headaches for Claudio Ranieri.
The back five for the Foxes are all virtually dead certs nowadays, having been retained throughout their title win last season.
In the midfield, however, Leicester are still struggling to find a suitable partner for Danny Drinkwater at the heart of midfield. They appear to have settled on Daniel Amartey for now, but when Nampalys Mendy returns this may not be the case.
Up front, expect Islam Slimani to start alongside Jamie Vardy as has been the case for the past few weeks.
For Alan Pardew’s Eagles, however, the continued absence of captain Scott Dann means Damien Delaney and James Tomkins will continue in a depleted back line which also lacks the presence of Papa Souare.
Steve Mandanda will start in goal for the Eagles and, as aforementioned, the back line will consist of a centre-half pairing of Tomkins and Delaney. Joel Ward and Martin Kelly will be the wide defenders.
In midfield, Yohan Cabaye could start alongside James McArthur after returning against West Ham United last week, while Jason Puncheon continues as a number 10.
Up front, Wilfried Zaha and Andros Townsend flank Christian Benteke, who will be looking to bounce back from his missed penalty last weekend.
