Leicester City 0-2 Crystal Palace result: Jean-Philippe Mateta and Marc Guehi deepen The Foxes' relegation fears

"It's not a maybe. I see the characteristics and qualities in players that are there. That is the most important thing. When I first signed, I believed it was possible with this squad to stay in. We need luck. Losing Mads [Hermansen] and Abdul Fatawu were big blows, but we have to adjust and find ways. We've shown over the past six weeks that we're making the steps in the right direction to make sure performances get turned into points."

"[Wharton] is making progress. Everything is going in the right direction and I expect him back training with the team, maybe by the end of January, but probably the beginning of February."

Crystal Palace winger Eberechi Eze continues to be the star man for his club in the Premier League as he pushes for regular inclusion in the England squad.

Eze spoke to TNT Sports' Sign Up - Into Football and shared how Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho inspired him to become a professional player.

That comes in midfield with Will Hughes in for the benched Cheick Doucoure.

Palace were dealt a blow on the eve of this encounter with Trevoh Chalobah being recalled from his loan by Chelsea.

Ruud van Nistelrooy makes a couple of tweaks to his defence with Wout Foes coming into the centre of the defence and Victor Kristiansen slotting in at left back.

The other change sees Facundo Buonanotte replace Jordan Ayew.
