Which Leicester will turn up?published at 09:30 Greenwich Mean Time 17 December 2016
Stoke v Leicester (15:00 GMT)
Alistair Mann
MOTD commentatorIf 'last season's' Leicester returned against Manchester City, then this season's Leicester were back three days later at Bournemouth.
There was no indication that a corner had been turned as the champions continued their miserable away form with their seventh defeat in eight league games; they've already conceded more goals on their travels than they did throughout their title-winning campaign.
A trip to Stoke is hardly the easiest assignment in their quest for a first away victory as defending champions. After a disheartening seven-game winless run at the start of the season, Mark Hughes' side have picked up 17 points from their subsequent nine matches.
They'll feel this weekend offers them an ideal opportunity to end their 36-year wait for a top-flight home win against the Foxes.

The 29-year-old former Liverpool player has scored 97 goals and won eight trophies since moving to the Nou Camp in July 2014 for £75m.

Eagles to end Chelsea's winning?published at 09:17 Greenwich Mean Time 17 December 2016
Crystal Palace v Chelsea (12:30 GMT)
Mark Lawrenson
Former Liverpool defenderThis winning Chelsea run will end at some point and I think it will end when they are away from home.
A point would be a great result for Crystal Palace and, although it will mean Chelsea drop a couple of points, it will not be a serious setback.

The switch to three at the back has triggered a run of 10 straight wins, and do we all expect number 11 to happen in a few short hours?
