Leicester Predictions

My sense is that Van Nistelroy's management style is all about attacking, and that could well favour us and the way we have played this season. I am cautiously optimistic for a positive result, hopefully a win, so I'll say 2-1 to Palace.
 
My intuition is pessimistic, largely based on the fact that we've been scrapping for points and eeking out results since Brighton (Arsenal excepted), and you tend to run out of steam before long if you do that - we need a bit of surprise, energy or oomph from somewhere because Leicester have come back up from a very low point when Wolves beat them at their place. I'd like to see Devenny get at least 30 min, and hopefully Eze can get more involved rather than getting isolated and doing a few tricks. 2-2 after we come back from 2-0, down.
 
Leicester will be greatly encouraged by that 6-2 win over QPR in the FA Cup and I certainly do NOT expect us to emerge with a victory.
A defeat against Leicester will add to my concern about our prospects this season and a few "Alarm bells" could start to ring.
Yeah but remember we thrashed Stockport County 1-0. So what are you worried about?
 
I watched a lot of the Leicester v QPR match in the cup. It was not a 6-2 game. QPR probably shaded the first half and got a deserved equaliser after going behind. They should have scored when it was 1-1 and then got picked off chasing the game. I really can't see us not scoring given that Leicester will be trying to get the win and their defence are going to struggle with our front line. Even if Chalobah does not play Richards, Guehi and Lacroix should be able to cope with the Leicester front line. I also think Leicester lack a physical presence so will be vulnerable from set pieces. I am going for 3-0 or 3-1 as we are close to full strength and Leicester are missing players.
