'We'll play wherever the Premier League tell us to play': Roy Hodgson says Crystal Palace are happy to face Leicester at a neutral venue if King Power Stadium is unable to host next game after city was forced into local lockdown amid coronavirus spike

Roy Hodgson says Crystal Palace are happy to face Leicester at a neutral venue, if the King Power club are unable to host this weekend's Premier League fixture due to a spike in coronavirus cases.

The Eagles suffered a 1-0 defeat at home to Burnley on Monday and during the contest at Selhurst Park it was confirmed a local lockdown had been imposed on Leicester by Health Secretary Matt Hancock.

The Foxes are next at home against Palace on Saturday and Hodgson is relaxed about any potential changes.

'I did hear on the news today there was a potential problem in Leicester,' the Palace manager said.
