Team News Leicester City
Brendan Rogers’ side has fallen far short of their expectations. Their chances of qualifying for the Europa League in the league are slim. One way out could be to win the Europa Conference League. There, the team will face PSV Eindhoven in the second leg next Thursday. Leicester is still missing two key players: striker Jamie Vardy and midfielder Wilfred Ndidi. In addition, numerous other regular players are out injured.
Team News Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace is currently playing excellent football in the English Premier League. Too late to get any closer to the top. Nevertheless, there have been impressive results lately, such as the 3-0 against Arsenal or the surprising draw against Manchester City. Away from home, Palace is unbeaten in 6 competitive matches. Patrick Viera’s side is currently one of the most in-form teams in the top leagues. Perhaps this is also due to the fact that they hardly have any absentees to complain about.
