Match facts
Head-to-head
Crystal Palace have beaten Leicester in nine Premier League games, their joint most wins against any club - along with Aston Villa and West Ham.
The Eagles won 2-1 at Selhurst Park when the sides last met, in April 2023, to end a seven-match Premier League winless run in this fixture. Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the decisive goal in the 94th minute.
Leicester have won just one of the last seven Premier League away meetings, a 2-0 victory in November 2019.
Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace could fail to win any of their opening four Premier League matches for the first time since 2017-18, when Frank de Boer was subsequently sacked.
Palace lost just three of their 13 league fixtures under Oliver Glasner last season.
They can lose their opening two home games for the first time since 2018.
There have been 59 goals scored in the last 16 Premier League matches at Selhurst Park. Only games at Stamford Bridge and the Etihad Stadium have produced more goals during this period.
Palace have conceded first in all three league games this season, while they are yet to win a fixture under Glasner in which they have gone behind.
However, the Eagles have only lost one of their past 12 Premier League home fixtures against promoted opposition, a 3-0 defeat versus Fulham in December 2022
Jean-Philippe Mateta is yet to score after three Premier League appearances this season. He ended 2023-24 with 13 goals in 13 league games under Glasner.
Leicester City
Leicester have taken one point from their opening three matches. In their previous Premier League campaign in 2022-23, they recorded one point from seven games.
The Foxes have lost five of their past six away fixtures in all competitions.
They have only opened the scoring in two of their last 24 Premier League matches, conceding first in all three so far this season.
Leicester have won just two of their past 16 Premier League trips to London, conceding 40 goals at an average of 2.5 per game.
Steve Cooper has won only one of his last 16 Premier League fixtures, and none of the last nine. He has triumphed in just two of his 29 Premier League away games as a manager overall.
However, Cooper was unbeaten in all three Premier League matches as Nottingham Forest boss against Palace, drawing both visits to Selhurst Park.
Jordan Ayew scored 22 goals in 195 Premier League appearances for Palace before joining Leicester last month. He netted in each of his last two Premier League games against the Eagles, for Swansea City in 2017-18.
