Rare mistakes, Zaha penalty woe and Wembley auditions - Crystal Palace talking points vs Leicester

More questions than answers

Patrick Vieira has often called for consistency this season but not just from his players on the pitch. He's also after emotional consistency on a game by game basis - never get too high after a win and never sink too low after defeat. Still, the Frenchman would have headed to the King Power Stadium on Sunday with at least more hope than doubt that his side could keep the high standards they've set themselves over the last two months up against a Leicester side full of changes.

Instead, ahead of the biggest game of this season and the biggest game for the club since the 2016 FA Cup final, Vieira leaves Leicester with more questions than answers leading into the semi-final showdown with London rivals Chelsea. Plans won't have been thrown out of the window by any means, but there might be need for recalculation following a difficult first 45 minutes in the Midlands.
