Brendan Rodgers has insisted he can take this Leicester City team forward despite the pressure mounting on him ahead of their meeting with Crystal Palace as part of Saturday’s Premier League TV schedule.
The Foxes boss earned himself some more time with a 4-0 victory over Nottingham Forest in the first game after the international break but supporters have been calling for him to go after last weekend’s 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth, which leaves them rock bottom of the table.
The Northern Irish coach appears to still have the backing of the board but that could change if he’s not able to get his side back to winning ways at the King Power Stadium this weekend.
Patrick Vieira will hope that Palace’s 2-1 victory over Leeds can help them to kick-start their season after an up-and-down first few months of the 2022/23 campaign.
But just two of the Eagles’ nine points this term have come away from the comforts of Selhurst Park and there is no denying the quality in the Leicester squad.

Our prediction: Leicester v Crystal Palace
The injury to Jonny Evans is the last thing Rodgers needs right now and given Leicester already have the worst defensive record in the division, his absence will have the Palace forwards licking their lips.
Wilfried Zaha, Ebere Eze, and co should have their fair share of chances at the King Power Stadium and will need to make the most of them if they’re to pick up a first away win of the season, as scoring goals has not been the Foxes’ problem this season.
In fact, thanks to James Maddison’s superb form in 2022/23, they’ve scored five more than Saturday’s opponents despite being five places below them in the table.
The result is hard to predict but there will surely be plenty of goals.
Our prediction: Leicester 2-2 Crystal Palace (14/1 at bet365)
