Both teams will be playing on short rest, last being in action on Boxing Day. I like Leicester who is the superior team and has the better squad depth.

Crystal Palace took a 3-0 beating at Aston Villa and has now lost their last two games by a combined score or 10-0. Now they face second-place Leicester City who is undefeated on the road in EPL play this season, going 6-0-1 with a 17-7 goal differential. The away game they did not win was at league-leading reigning EPL champions Liverpool.

10* play on Leicester.
