Crystal Palace lineup vs. Leicester: Predicted XI for Wednesday's Premier League encounter

Sports Mole looks at how Crystal Palace may line up for their Premier League encounter away at Leicester City on Wednesday.

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner could be able to welcome as many as four players back to his starting XI for the trip to Leicester City in the Premier League on Wednesday.

Illness swept through the Palace camp in the build-up to their FA Cup tie with Stockport County at the weekend, ruling goalkeeper Dean Henderson out entirely.

Maxence Lacroix, Tyrick Mitchell and Jean-Philippe Mateta also came down with the bug, and even though they were all still named in the squad on Sunday, none of them made it off the bench at Selhurst Park.

Glasner will hope enough time has passed for the quartet to recover in time for this one, meaning stand-in stopper Matt Turner, and outfield trio Chadi Riad, Nathaniel Clyne and Eddie Nketiah may drop to the bench.

It was another underwhelming display from £30m-man Nketiah, who is still without a Premier League goal since joining from Arsenal, and did little to suggest Glasner could drop Mateta for him in their starting XI.

Trevoh Chalobah was set to return to the league XI after missing the Chelsea game due to being ineligible against his parent club, but he has since been recalled by the Blues, so Chris Richards is likely to start again for the Eagles.

Glasner's main issues are in midfield where Adam Wharton remains out and Will Hughes is set to join him on the sidelines after missing the last two games.

The Palace boss has plenty of options to fill in, though, with Cheick Doucoure a very capable deputy, and Daichi Kamada, who has not had the best start to life in South London, but stepped in well on Sunday.

Young winger Matheus Franca is the only other injury absentee, having now been out for nine months, while Rob Holding remains out of the picture, and should leave the club this month.

Crystal Palace possible starting lineup: Henderson; Richards, Lacroix, Guehi; Munoz, Lerma, Doucoure, Mitchell; Sarr, Mateta, Eze
