Crystal Palace vs Leicester: Prediction, kick off time, team news, TV, live stream, h2h results, odds today

Roy Hodgson today makes his second bow in the Crystal Palace dugout as Leicester make the trip to Selhurst Park.

The 75-year-old is back in charge of the Eagles after Patrick Vieira was sacked, with Palace just three points off the relegation zone and possessing the joint-worst attacking record in the Premier League this season.

Leicester are two points worse off and sit 17th in the table, firmly in a relegation battle that looks certain to go down to the wire. The Foxes have lost five and drawn one of their last six matches in all competitions.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Crystal Palace vs Leicester is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off time today, Saturday, April 1, 2023.

Selhurst Park in London will host.

Crystal Palace vs Leicester prediction

The return of Hodgson will surely give Palace some sort of lift, though it’s unlikely to bring a swift return to goalscoring form.

Neither side are convincing at all and with it likely to be a tense encounter with so much on the line, the points could well be shared.

Draw, 1-1.
