Leicester will on Sunday play Crystal Palace at home and we do feel this is a key game going forward. A win would see Leicester having no worries of what is behind but can consentrate on getting a grand end ot the season and climb further.
Patrick Vieira has been a massive success since arriving in the summer. The club is in great shape and looking forward and a number of players to look out for.
Last summer they recruited well with the arrivals of Will Hughes, Joachim Andersen, Oddsonne Edouard, Conor Gallagher among those. Andros Townsend, Patrick Van Aanholt, Gary Cahill, Scott Dann, Wayne Hennessey, Mamadou Sakho and James McCarthy were players departing.
To see a number of younger players taking their place in the set-up has been a clever act as other players have blossomed around them, really smashing to see how you can change so much in just one summer.
One former fox is still around and Jeffrey Schlupp has done well since his move to Selhurst Park. To date 137 league games and scored 12 goals. He is a quality Premier League performer and operates on the left side either in midfield or as part of the backline. Still a player with a passed at Leicester and one to look out for on Sunday.
Leicester will hopefully come out competitive and give Crystal Palace a difficult time and TCF is hopefull and believe a 2-0 win could be a good bet.
Bobby Kellard, Alan Birchenall and Damien Delaney are just a few of former players in both camps. You can find all of them in our update on players with a life at Crystal Palace and Leicester.
We are looking forward to a very exciting game and hopefully Leicester will come out with a team almost in the same shape as against PSV Eindhoven.
