Leicester City face a tough test to maintain their lead at the top of the nPower Championship as they host fourth placed Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
The Eagles are without a manager after Dougie Freedman left to join Bolton in midweek, and their first game without the Scotsman saw them draw 1-1 at Barnsley.
City, also looking to continue their 100% home record, hope to have David Nugent and Richie De Laet available. Top goalscorer Nugent went off with an Achilles problem in the win against Brighton in midweek, while right back De Laet suffered from chest pains.
The only guarenteed absentee is defender Sean St Ledger with a hamstring injury, so Zak Whitbread is set to continue in defence. Jamie Vardy could come back into the side to replace striker Martyn Waghorn.
Palace welcome back Dean Moxey and Wilfried Zaha after they both served a one match ban for picking up five yellow cards.
Jonathan Williams is in contention to start after being rested for the midweek trip to Yorkshire, while left back Jonathan Parr could keep his place at left back.
However, former Leicester captain Paddy McCarthy won't feature as he continues to recover from a groin injury which has kept him out all season.
Leicester City assistant manager Craig Shakespeare: "Performances and where we are in the table suggests we're doing something right and the players have to take credit for that.
"As they have been over the last few years, I would expect Crystal Palace to be hard to beat, hard to break down and with a threat in Glenn Murray in terms of his goal-scoring record. It will be a difficult game for us.
"If you pick one player out, you’d have to pick Zaha out at the moment with the way he is playing"
Crystal Palace defender Peter Ramage: "We fear nobody in this league and results have shown throughout the season that anybody can beat anybody.
"We go to Leicester full of confidence, go and do what we do best, and hopefully we can get a positive result."
