December has been very tough for Crystal Palace, and it is not about to get any easier, with a home match against Leicester City coming up next. Palace go to this game on 18 points and placed 13th in the standings, while Leicester City have 28 points and in second place. Ahead of this game, Palace are coming from a 3-0 loss to 10-man Aston Villa and will need a massive response, having earlier lost 7-0 at home to Liverpool. Palace have been so poor defensively this season, they have no clean sheet in their last 13 matches, and have won just one of their last six matches. At home, in their last three matches, Palace are winless, with two losses and they have conceded 12 goals in the last five home league matches while scoring six. They have two wins in their seven home league games this season and have lost in their last two matches against Leicester City.

Leicester City, on the other hand, are coming from a very impressive game against Manchester United at home. They came from behind twice to earn a point in a 2-2 draw at King Power Stadium and will be hoping they can return to winning ways here. The Foxes have won three of their last five matches and will need a better effort defensively, having kept just three clean sheets in their last 10 matches. In attack they have been impressive, scoring at least two goals in five of the last six matches. Leicester have actually failed to score in only one of their last six matches and in two of their last 10 in the Premier League. Five of their last seven league matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they have six wins in their seven away league games this season. The visitors have scored two or more goals in five of their last seven away games and this will be an interesting game for Jamie Vardy. The Leicester talisman was key in the draw with Manchester United and has three goals in the last two meetings with Crystal Palace.
