Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Crystal Palace could line up in Monday's Premier League clash with Leicester City.

Crystal Palace will again be missing a number of players through injury when they travel to the King Power Stadium on Monday evening to take on Leicester City.

Mamadou Sakho has made excellent progress in his recovery from a thigh problem, but this match will come too soon for the centre-back, while Nathaniel Clyne and James Tomkins are again expected to miss out despite returning to training.

James McArthur, James McCarthy, Connor Wickham, Nathan Ferguson and Wayne Hennessey are all still unavailable, meanwhile, meaning that the visitors will again be far from full strength here.

Gary Cahill should overcome a slight problem to feature in the middle of the defence, though, and there will also be a return to the squad for Michy Batshuayi, who was not eligible to face parent club Chelsea last time out.

Despite the absentees, head coach Roy Hodgson does have options for change, with Andros Townsend and Jeffrey Schlupp among those pushing for spots in the team.

Hodgson could ultimately decide to select an unchanged XI from the one that lost 4-1 to the Blues, with Wilfried Zaha playing in a front two alongside Christian Benteke.

Jordan Ayew should also retain his position in the XI, while Eberechi Eze, who has been one of Palace's best performers this season, is expected to line up on the left once again.

Crystal Palace possible starting lineup: Guaita; Ward, Kouyate, Cahill, Van Aanholt; Ayew, Milivojevic, Riedewald, Eze; Benteke, Zaha
