What channel is Leicester v Crystal Palace Premier League match on? Kick off time and latest team news- 26 April 2021
Leicester host Crystal Palace on Sunday in the latest chapter of the Premier League’s top-four battle.
Leicester will hope to regain a firm footing in the battle for a top-four finish and stave off any end-of-season nerves that may have crept into the side this spring when they welcome Crystal Palace to the King Power on Monday.
While the Foxes have reached the FA Cup final already this month, their league form has suffered a blip, with recent defeats to Manchester City and West Ham.
Boss Brendan Rodgers is still on course to fire Leicester back into the Champions League with six Premier League fixtures remaining – and three points against Palace would likely calm the nerves.
Palace themselves are trudging towards the end of the season and are just two points off the heralded 40-point mark that usually ensures a team is safe.
The Eagles have won just one of their last six outings, however, and aren’t expected to trouble Leicester too much here.

Leicester v Crystal Palace team news
Leicester: James Justin, Harvey Barnes and Wes Morgan remain the same injury doubts for Leicester going into this one.
Despite their injury issues throughout the 2020/21 campaign, Rodgers has been able to transform his team to deploy two strikers up front as opposed to just Jamie Vardy. Kelechi Iheanacho has been in terrific form and is likely to remain a key part of the XI.
Crystal Palace: Loanee Michy Batshuayi was unable to face Chelsea last time out but is available once again, while there is hope Nathaniel Clyne will be fit enough to feature here.
However, it looks likely that James McArthur, Nathan Ferguson, Connor Wickham, James Tomkins and Mamadou Sakho will all sit out this fixture.

Our prediction: Leicester v Crystal Palace
Leicester should have no problem dealing with Palace here and securing a win that keeps them well in the battle for a Champions League spot.
With Kelechi Iheanacho on top form and James Maddison coming back into the side, the Foxes have real firepower going forward that Palace may struggle to handle.
Of course, the Eagles have their own offensive arsenal that has caused plenty of headaches to opposition defences over the course of the season. But Leicester should control this game from the off and secure the three points.
Our prediction: Leicester 2-0 Crystal Palace (11/2 at bet365)
