Separated only by goal difference in the lower echelons of the Premier League table, Ipswich Town and Crystal Palace clash in a crucial bottom-half battle at Portman Road on Tuesday evening.
The Tractor Boys’ unbeaten streak was snapped in a 1-0 reverse at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, while the Eagles were seemingly consigned to the same fate against Newcastle United before dramatically rescuing a point from a 1-1 draw.
We say: Ipswich Town 1-2 Crystal Palace
Ipswich have taken on the role of stalemate specialists in this Premier League campaign – especially at their Portman Road headquarters – and neither goalkeeper should add to their clean sheet totals given both defences’ respective frailties.
However, as the Eagles have started to find a clinical edge on the road and also have Eze fit and firing again, we have faith in Glasner’s side to edge an incredibly tight battle, boosting their survival prospects at the expense of their hosts.

Leicester vs. West Ham (Tuesday, 8.15pm)

The Ruud van Nistelrooy era at the King Power Stadium commences on Tuesday evening, when Leicester City host fellow bottom-half battlers West Ham United in the Premier League.
Both sides have weekend wrongs to right on December 3, as the Foxes were pummelled 4-1 by Brentford on Saturday, a couple of hours before Julen Lopetegui’s side were on the wrong end of a 5-2 scoreline versus Arsenal.
We say: Leicester City 2-2 West Ham United
The quintessential new manager bounce may benefit Leicester on the attacking front, but their defensive vulnerabilities will not be fixed overnight, and a Kudus-reinforced West Ham will surely strike at least twice at the King Power.
However, as Lopetegui’s team are also far from watertight at the back, Van Nistelrooy’s men should be good enough for a slice of the spoils in an entertaining baptism for the Dutchman.
