Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of a clash between two of the Premier League's form sides, Crystal Palace and Leicester City, both of whom have won five of their last six league matches. Team news is on the way.

Sloppy start from Palace, this.

GOAL! Leicester lead! Fuchs pumps a long throw into the box and Huth leaps highest at the near post to divert it into the net.

Townsend crosses in search of Benteke but Huth is on hand to clear for the hosts.

We're underway.

Twitter favourite Mike Dean is today's referee.

In terms of quality and significance you'll struggle to find many goals better than this, even if it did come off his shin.

A Riyad Mahrez goal was enough to give the Foxes a 1-0 win in this fixture last season, and he'll be lining up on the right of midfield again today, albeit having struggled to capture the form he showed last campaign.

Here's a reminder of the two teams in full with 20 minutes to go until kick-off. CRYSTAL PALACE: Hennessey, Ward, Kelly, Sakho, Schlupp, Milivojevic, Cabaye, Townsend, Puncheon, Zaha, Benteke. Subs: Speroni, Van Aanholt, Delaney, McArthur, Flamini, Sako, Campbell. /// LEICESTER CITY: Schmeichel, Simpson, Benalouane, Huth, Fuchs, Mahrez, Ndidi, King, Albrighton, Ulloa, Vardy. Subs: Zieler, Chilwell, Drinkwater, Musa, Amartey, Okazaki, Gray.

Leicester have won the last three meetings between these two, including a 3-1 triumph that featured this goal earlier in the season.

As for Sam Allardyce, he too has been talking up the opposition. “They were tactically brilliant against Atletico Madrid and only lost to a penalty, and as we know, they showed they are difficult to beat, we need to be patient and show our quality in the final third,” he said. "They are reigning champions of The Premier League and in the quarter-final of the Champions League so we know the size of the task we are up against. We have seven games left and must make sure that getting safe is our first target but even though we have won six matches of the last nine we are still not there and we mustn’t lose our focus.”

Leicester are 11th at kick-off - five places better off than their opponents - but only have two more points. Crystal Palace could end the day in the top half of results go their way.

“Offensively, with the three forwards in Benteke, Zaha and Townsend, they’re a major threat,” Craig Shakespeare said of Crystal Palace in the week. He's expecting "a real difficult game” and stressed its importance. “Everybody down there still needs the points. None of us can say that we’re safe," he continued. "The points are vitally important and their players will take confidence from that game on Monday night.”

In nine Premier League meetings the two sides have four wins apiece with one draw.

Selhurst Park though will still be in a buoyant mood after Monday night's impressive result.

Just the two changes for Leicester then, which is a surprise given they face the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday. After a fantastic start to life under Craig Shakespeare it's been a troublesome week, with two defeats and some of their supporters making headlines for the wrong reasons in Spain.

Leicester meanwhile make two changes from the team that played in Madrid on Wednesday with Danny Drinkwater and Shinji Okazaki replaced by Andy King and Leonardo Ulloa. It's only Ulloa's second start in the league this season.

Crystal Palace name an unchanged side to the one that beat Arsenal so convincingly five days ago, meaning Jeffery Schlupp starts against the team he left in January.
