Crystal Palace face a bumpy journey on their path to Premier League completion: taking on three of the ‘big six’, four of the actual top six and an Aston Villa side fighting for safety.
First, they face Leicester City. With the Foxes in third place and battling for their Champions League spot, Brendan Rodgers’ high-flying side may seem like the most challenging of opponents for Roy Hodgson’s Eagles.
But the Leicester game is more crucial than first glance would suggest, with the Midlands club playing notably out of form.
So, taking recent results into account, the clash could prove key in Palace collecting points from the challenging weeks ahead.
