Match facts

Head-to-head

  • Crystal Palace's solitary victory over Leicester City in the past nine Premier League meetings came at home in April 2023 (D4, L4).

  • Leicester are unbeaten in their last four home games against Palace, winning three in a row before the sides drew 0-0 in their most recent encounter at King Power Stadium in October 2022.

Leicester City

  • Leicester are on a five-match losing streak in the league, conceding multiple goals in every defeat. It's their longest such run since April 2001, when they lost seven in a row while letting in two goals or more each time.

  • The Foxes have lost nine of their past 12 Premier League games, conceding 30 goals during that period and only beating West Ham.

  • They have kept one top-flight clean sheet this season, the fewest in the division, which came in a 1-0 home win over Bournemouth on 5 October.

  • Leicester's tally of two clean sheets in their past 43 Premier League fixtures is the joint-lowest over that many games by any team in the competition's history. West Brom and Burnley have recorded similar runs.

Crystal Palace

  • Crystal Palace are vying to equal their club record of six successive top-flight away matches without defeat, which they achieved in October 1990 and February 1992.

  • Their only defeat in the past 13 Premier League games versus promoted opposition was 2-1 at Luton Town in November 2023 (W8, D4).

  • Four of the Eagles' last eight league goals have been scored via corners.
