Given the Eagles’ recent form against Leicester City, Crystal Palace fans may have felt a certain hubris for the visit of the Foxes before last Friday.
But as Jamie Vardy struck home a 94th-minute penalty against Southampton to record the league's biggest ever top-flight away win, Roy Hodgson’s men were dealt a warning call and the meeting of two of the country’s in-form sides this Sunday at 2pm hotted up markedly.
For Palace, playing Leicester City in recent years has been a fruitful occasion, with the aggregate score between the two teams over the last four matches sitting at 13-1 in the south Londoners’ favour.
