Wed Jan 15 18:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Leicester City’s Losing Streak Faces Unbeaten Crystal Palace

**Leicester, England (January 15, 2025)** – Leicester City, currently on a five-game losing streak – their longest of the season – faces a tough test against Crystal Palace, who arrive at the King Power Stadium unbeaten in their last five away league matches. Kick-off is imminent.

Leicester’s dismal run has seen them concede two or more goals in each defeat, a worrying trend mirroring a similar seven-game losing streak in 2001. Their defensive woes are starkly illustrated by their league-low one clean sheet this season and a paltry two shutouts in their last 43 games – a record matched only by West Brom and Burnley in the Premier League’s history.

While Leicester’s home record against Palace isn’t entirely bleak (unbeaten in their last four meetings), Crystal Palace boast a recent resurgence against the Foxes, winning just one of their last nine encounters after a four-game winning streak between 2017 and 2019.

Palace’s attacking threat is significant, with a high percentage of their goals coming from set pieces, second only to Everton. Their midfield maestro, Eberechi Eze, is also in fine form, having reached 46 Premier League goal involvements for the club, drawing level with club legend Christian Benteke.

Despite both teams ranking highly in the league for total pressures applied, their effectiveness in the final third is less impressive, suggesting a struggle to convert possession into goals. However, Leicester’s Jamie Vardy remains a key attacking threat, receiving a significant number of through balls this season.

The match promises to be a fascinating encounter between two teams with contrasting fortunes, with Leicester desperately seeking a win to break their losing streak and Palace aiming to extend their unbeaten run.
