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.
 
Confident that we win tonight. If we do and Ipswich v Brighton and wolves at Newcastle , go as expected. That should be us done and looking up instead of down. (Yes I do remember Oldham , I was in the clock end when we got relegated)
We’d be 8 points clear with the 3 of the bottom 4 still to play.
The bottom 4 all averaging way below a point a game at the moment.
1-3

Their defence is possibly the weakest in the PL so if our front three are on top of their game I think we should have the beating of them. A win could potentially see us overtake Man Utd and go level on points with Spurs, which in any other season would be impressive! 1-3 Palace JP x2, Eze and Vardy for them.

You're right it's not that impressive this season but it still feels mighty good.

Leicester have conceded 44 goals the same number as Southampton.Only Wolves have conceded more, a total of 45. We have conceded 28 goals. Leicester have not kept a 'Clean Sheet' in Van Nistelrooy's 8 games in charge.

Never mind his sheets - let's hope he needs a new pair of drawers after tonight.
 
General consensus on the Leicester forum is they need to win this game and think they can

a lot of them predicting 2/3 - nils to them.

Not massive fans of Ayew and think edouard is a waste of space.
 
Vardy always scores against us and Sod’s Law says Jordan is bound to get one against us. This means we will need to score 3 to win or 2 to get a draw. 2 is possible 3 is going to be a bit difficult. I predict 2-2. COYP
