Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy speaking to TNT Sports: "I think the difference between the first and second half was something I didn't see coming and it was big.

"It was a very good and energetic first half and the second half was very poor. They had a bit of momentum out of the dressing room. That first goal was in and I thought there that the confidence dropped a bit.

"We have to look at what we created in the firts half. We have to grab the momentum ourselves with the goal and build on that. We have to keep going. We couldn't get the chances in the second half and it was really difficult at 2-0.

"If you look at what you create over a game, it's enough to get a result and get points. It's a big blow, we were looking to get a result and this is a big blow. We need to stick together and everyone is looking in the same direction.

"Six without a win is not good enough. You can't keep talking about performances. We need to win and that needs to happen soon."

Leicester captain Jamie Vardy, speaking to TNT Sports: "I'm not sure. I don't know if it's mental or physical. I think we'll look back and try to dissect it all.

"It's disappointing. We don't want to be in this situation. We need to be doing it for 90 minutes, 45 isn't enough.

"We've not been with the gaffer that long and we're getting better and better with how he wants us to play. We need to do it for the full 90 and everything clicks.

"There's always confidence but we've not been able to get those results. Football is a results business. We've not got the result we wanted tonight but it's a quick turnaround."

Leicester City have problems at the back and upfront.

The defeat by Crystal Palace is their sixth successive loss in the Premier League and they have conceded two goals in all of those games. They have also failed to score in four of those matches.

Ruud van Nistelrooy's side were the better side in the first half, but Jamie Vardy had left his shooting boots at home.

He fired at Dean Henderson when one-on-one and scooped a half-volley over the bar.

One of Leicester's many problems is who else is going to stand up and score if Vardy is having an off night.

Their only second-half shot on target came in stoppage time and Van Nistelrooy will need to remedy that just as much as tightening up at the back if they are to survive.

Nottingham Forest goalkeeper Mats Sels has been the talk of the town for his goalkeeping performances this season... but it is Leicester's Mads Hermansen who has the highest number of goals prevented. And by a hefty margin too.

Based on the quality of the shots on target that Hermansen has faced this season, Opta expect him to have conceded 35.44 goals.

He has actually conceded just 29, which leaves him with a net positive goals prevented stat of 6.44.

He is followed by Bournemouth goalkeeper Mark Travers - though that is from a very small data set as he has only made five appearances.

Crystal Palace's Dean Henderson, West Ham's Lukasz Fabianski and Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario complete the top five, with Mats Sels next.

Leicester enjoyed a big win in the FA Cup but they are on a run of five successive defeats in the league and it feels like they have got to get something from this game.

It will not be easy for the Foxes. Crystal Palace have been much improved in the past few weeks and have built a bit of momentum after only losing one of their past nine league games.

I definitely do not see the Eagles losing this and although it will be tight, they are the team who I think will find a way of winning it, probably through Jean-Philippe Mateta.

Leicester had already found the 'loophole' to escape one charge and possible points deduction.

This time they have managed to avoid a breach via more traditional means. Harvey Barnes' £38m move to Newcastle and Timothy Castagne's £15m transfer to Fulham in 2023 will be included in their latest accounts, while the £10m compensation banked from former manager Enzo Maresca's switch to Chelsea in the summer will also ease losses.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's £30m transfer to Chelsea is also included.

The £92.5m loss from 2022 will now drop off the three-year assessment period but the £90m loss from 2023 remains, while the Foxes' accounts from 2023-24 - their season in the Championship - are yet to be made public.

Relegation back to the Championship - which they remain in danger of - would have a damaging impact on the club's finances again. In 2024, after their initial charge, Leicester accused the English Football League of "conspiring with the Premier League to use unlawful means and to procure or induce a breach of contract by the Premier League" as relationships deteriorated.
