Leicester vs Man City
The Foxes have conceded an average of 18.06 shots per game this season. Liverpool managed 19 shots against them, despite a slow start and then easing off after their second goal in a 3-1 victory. Newcastle fired 27 shots, Brighton recorded 16, and West Ham registered a staggering 31.
Under Ruud van Nistelrooy, their average has risen to 20.2 shots conceded per game, though this figure is slightly skewed by Wolves managing only 8 shots in a nervy 3-0 defeat during a crucial relegation clash. Manchester City, meanwhile, unleashed 24 shots against Everton.
Despite a disappointing season overall, City have registered an average of 17.67 shots per game and showed signs of improvement against Everton, generating 2.09 xG and playing well.
The Foxes are likely to make things difficult for City, as they showed against Liverpool by sitting in a low block regardless of the score or game state.

Crystal Palace vs Southampton
Southampton have shifted their approach following the departure of Russell Martin, moving away from their previous style of playing out from the back to a more aggressive, defensively solid setup. This adjustment was evident in their recent matches against Fulham and West Ham, where they focused on keeping things tight.
Crystal Palace have lost just twice in their last 10 Premier League games, but their home matches have been low-scoring, averaging only 2.44 goals per game, with Palace netting just 7 goals during that span.
This is a crucial game at the bottom of the table. Southampton are nine points adrift from safety, while a win for Palace could push them six points clear of the relegation zone. Despite Southampton’s struggles, Palace have attacking threats like Sarr, Eze, and Mateta, who could provide the edge needed to secure the victory.
Southampton’s away form has been dismal, with no wins (W0-D2-L7) and just one clean sheet. They have also failed to score in their last four away games, making this an uphill battle for the Saints.
