Crystal Palace v Leicester City: Key Battles

Crystal Palace face Leicester City this weekend in a game where a victory could almost certainly guarantee their Premier League status.

With three games left to play, Palace have so far accrued 35 points, which is six points more than 18th placed Southampton. Bar a sudden upturn in form for the Saints, the Eagles are all-but safe.

However, boss Roy Hodgson will be keen to warn against complacency and ensure his players produce the result to solidify another season in football’s premier division.

Last time out the Eagles were unable to break down their opponents as they played out a 0-0 draw with Watford at Vicarage Road.

Leicester are firmly positioned in mid-table with just a few games remaining, with 44 points to their name.

Claude Puel’s men may be excused for already being on the beach, but the travelling supporters will want to see nothing but 100% effort.

Here are four key battles that could prove crucial in determining the outcome of the match:
