Home Fans Nervous About Relegation, as Leicester City Host Crystal Palace on Saturday

With two wins in a row under his belt, Brendan Rodgers takes his Leicester team into this game full of confidence, and hopeful of another successive victory.

Also, the relegation zone is not where Leicester want to be at the end of the season, but that is where they are heading, unless they can get out of their losing habit. The Foxes have lost seven of their last eight meetings in the Premier League. With four points (1W, 7L and 1D), they are established in twentieth position in the League having won one game, drawn one game, and lost seven fixtures.

When Leicester host Palace, they will do so on the back of one victory, one dart, and two losse on their own ground.

A win in this fixture, would take Leicester City’s points from 4 to 7, so far this season.

Good Attacking Performance

This has been a good season so far for Leicester, in terms of goals scored (15). This has been largely down to the key attacking players: James Maddison (5), Patson Daka (3), and Harvey Barnes (2). Leicester’s defensive record in the Premier League has so far been very weak, with 24 goals conceded in their last fixtures. This is an issue that Brendan Rodgers urgently needs to address within the dressing room.

Leicester’s squad has depth, but even so, Brendan Rodgers is likely to be missing five of they key players when they start Saturday’s game.

Crystal Palace’s campaign so far has seen them accrue nine points this season

It was three points secured for Palace in their last fixture, beating Leeds United 2-1 at Selhurst Park.

Also, success in football comes from winning more games than your opponents, simply put, if Palace can continue to extend their winning streak from one games then Patrick Vieira’s squad will have an incredible season. Now they have 2 matches won, 3 games lost and 3 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in fifteenth place, with a total of nine points having won two games, drawn three matches, and lost three fixtures.

Palace have drawn two matches and lost one game of their three League matches away from home this season.

A win in this fixture would take Crystal Palace’s points to 12 in the League.

Patrick Vieira could be missing up to five of their players through injury or illness for the game on Saturday.
