A centre-back partnership of Wout Faes and Conor Coady was selected due to an injury to Jannik Vestergaard, but the Belgian took his opportunity with a wonder goal late on. James Justin and Viktor Kristiansen then reprised their roles at full-back, with the Englishmen scoring a brace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:<\/span><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/01\/11\/leicester-city-woyo-coulibaly\/\" target=\"_self\"> Leicester City&#8217;s most recent signing<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Harry Winks and Boubakary Soumar\u00e9 started in the double pivot, but Winks was replaced after an hour for Oliver Skipp. Facundo Buonanotte then returned to the side of the right-wing, with Stephy Mavididi on the other side.<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> Moroccan international Bilal El Khannouss then rounded up the midfield through the centre as he earned two assists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Leading the line was Jamie Vardy, who scored before being replaced by Patson Daka.<\/p>\n<div id=\"FreeStarVideoAdContainer\">\n<div id=\"freestar-video-parent\">\n<h3 id=\"freestar-video-child\">Leicester City\u2019s Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p>After five losses in a row, the Foxes found their first win of the year in a 6-2 thrashing of Queens Park Rangers. The victory sees them advance to the F.A Cup fourth round, where they will face Manchester United.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of selection, the home side put out a very strong team despite their lower-league opposition. This ultimately resulted in a dominant score-line, but not without some issues.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/01\/10\/leicester-city-predicted-lineup-vs-queens-park-rangers-for-january-11\/\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Predicted Leicester City Lineup Last Time Out<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Going into the break it was 3-2, with the visitors finding some success with more possession and the same amount of shots. However, this would all be forgotten about in the second half as Leicester dominated. Goals from Vardy, Justin and Faes rounded off a great second half, with some encouraging performances.<\/p>\n<p>With the momentum gained last time out, Leicester will be looking for an upturn in performances. With the East-Midlands-based side currently in 19th, three points against Crystal Palace could be vital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Leicester City Injuries to Consider<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>First-choice goalkeeper Hermansen is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leicestermercury.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/leicester-city-press-conference-live-9848424\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">still sidelined<\/a> with an expectation that he will be out for a bit longer.
