Crystal Palace had a strong second-half to last season's Premier League but hopes of avoiding another relegation battle haven't materialised. They are sixteenth in the table and only two points above the bottom three so could do with a good festive period. They have only won two of their last 15 league games and seven home games have only seen them score four times and two of those were penalties. Just 13 league goals scored this season puts them in real danger of a long hard struggle and they have Manchester City and Chelsea to face over Christmas.

They host Leicester City who are ninth in the table and need to bounce back from a loss at home to Tottenham last weekend. Only two of their last nine league games have been won though and goals aren't flowing at either end in their matches. All of their last eight league and cup games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them with four of the last five falling into that bracket. Palace aren't prolific goal scorers so the tip here is for under 2.5 goals to be scored in the game.
