Boot in both camps
Before joining Palace back in 2016, Jeffrey Schlupp spent five years in the East Midlands, his final full season the year Leicester defied all the odds and won the Premier League title.
Centre-backs Paddy McCarthy and Damien Delaney both had spells at Leicester before moving to Selhurst Park later in their respective careers.
Moving in the other direction, Jordan Ayew is part of the current Foxes side after ending his six year spell in South London last August, while forward Odsonne Edouard is on-loan at Leicester for the rest of the season.
Record against Palace
The Eagles are unbeaten in their last three Premier League games with Leicester. Our last visit to the King Power was the start of that particular sequence, a 0-0 draw back in October 2022.
But Palace still have work to do to match a fine run against the Foxes from April 2017-February 2019. In less than two years the Foxes were beaten four times, with a further game ending in a draw. This included a fabulous 5-0 win at Selhurst Park and a 4-1 win away from home as Leicester, for a while, became our favourite Premier League opponents.
The most encounter between the two came in the reverse fixture earlier this season, Palace forward Jean-Philippe Mateta getting a double with his second an injury time penalty, to salvage a 2-2 draw after the Eagles found themselves two goals down.
