Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson says his side will be prepared for the visit of Leicester and will be ready for the goal threat of Jamie Vardy

Stat of the match: Following his hat-trick at Southampton last time out, Leicester's Jamie Vardy is the top scoring Premier League player this season coming into this round of matches (9). His nine goals have come from just 20 shots in total, giving him a conversion rate of 45 per cent, the highest of any player to have had at least 10 attempts.
