    Crystal Palace 0-0 Leicester

    Luka Milivojevic picks out Jordan Ayew on the left of Leicester's six-yard box with a delicious, long-range pass.

    Ayew takes it down well and tries to chip it back across the area but the ball drifts on top of the net.

    Max Meyer's corner is touched on by what looks like a Leicester head and Christian Fuchs has enough time to knock it long down the left.

    Palace can't find their rhythm at all. Luka Milivojevic spreads it forward but it straight to Wes Morgan.

    This is better from the hosts though, building up towards the Leicester box before James McArthur tenaciously wins a corner.

    Jamie Vardy brings the ball down and gets Leicester moving as the Foxes go left before Harry Maguire switches it out to Ricardo Pereira.

    He feeds Marc Albrighton but Patrick van Aanholt shepherds the ball out of play expertly and it's a goal kick to Palace.

    Harry Maguire wins the ball back near his own area and releases an early long ball down the right for Jamie Vardy to try to run on to.

    Vardy is quick enough to get there but Palace are sloppy and give the ball away to Nampalys Mendy.

    It comes to nothing though and Palace try to break before turning back and starting to build again.

    Andros Townsend tries to deke past Ricardo Pereira but the Leicester right-back stays with him and gets a foot in to clear.

    Jordan Ayew then nips at Pereira's heels but concedes a throw.

    Christian Fuchs lofts it down the line and Jamie Vardy tries to touch it into a team-mate's path but instead knocks it straight off the pitch.

    Perhaps still finding his touch after missing the last two games with a groin injury.

    Andros Townsend wins the ball after a Christian Fuchs long throw deep in Leicester's half.

    But Harry Maguire gets stuck in, claims the ball back and then draws a foul.

    The England centre-back is showing no signs of that early knee tweak.

    Neat work from Palace as Andros Townsend finds James McArthur, who turns and tries to slide in Jordan Ayew.

    But once again Ayew strays offside. Too keen.

    The last time Palace won a league match without Wilfried Zaha was against Sunderland in 2016.

    It could be worse. You could be Sunderland.

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Leicester

    Palace lose the ball just outside their own area and Nampalys Mendy finds James Maddison.

    The young playmaker then tries an ambitious volleyed chip over the Palace defence towards Jamie Vardy but overhits it and debutant keeper Vicente Guaita can gather easily.

    The Foxes work it down the right and Marc Albrighton fizzes in a cross but Martin Kelly, replacing the suspended James Tomkins, clears the ball once again.

    Crystal Palace 0-0 Leicester

    Crystal Palace have scored only four goals at home in the league this season.

    And a front two of Jordan Ayew and Andros Townsend are tasked with adding to that paltry tally today.

    The hosts enjoy a spell in charge of possession but Leicester wrestle it back and try to build.

    Christian Fuchs chucks a long throw into the Palace area and Martin Kelly gets a firm head to it.

    The ball drops for Wilfred Ndidi but he skies his effort high and very wide.

    Good news, Foxes fans. Harry Maguire is back on the pitch. He's moving a little gingerly but he's OK to continue for now.

    Maguire limps off and Palace take the corner.

    It's cleared and headed back in by Aaron Wan-Bissaka but Jordan Ayew is caught offside.

    Harry Maguire is making his first start back after a knee problem kept him out for the past five weeks.

    The England centre-back slid in to try and block Andros Townsend and has gone over on that knee awkwardly.

    He's receiving treatment. This does not look good.

    Andros Townsend makes an early foray into the Leicester area but is closed down.

    The winger, playing back in the front two today, wins a corner though.

    Crystal Palace v Leicester (15:00 GMT)

    Just as seemingly everywhere else in the country, it looks dark, wet and miserable in south London today.

    Both sides are out on the pitch and we're moments away from getting started.
