Prediction

Though a goalless draw versus Palace may possibly feel deflating, Leicester can just take heart from their most reliable defensive exhibit this season on best of excellent attacking intensity in their develop-up engage in, which was only allow down by a mixture of inaccurate ending and great Palace defending.

Leeds meanwhile had been once again great in their attacking press and depth plus dug in with interceptions in opposition to Arsenal, but a lousy backpass cross proved their undoing along with an terrible penalty by Patrick Bamford additionally numerous VAR choices versus them.

With the latter stage in brain, I do expect Leeds to appear out combating with their sturdy attack which I anticipate to request major issues of Leicester’s defence across the overall match, so a resolute Foxes backline coupled with clinical attacking will be crucial usually I can see an away gain coming.
