Patson Daka starts for Leicester City against Crystal Palace

Chipolopolo Boys forward Patson Daka will lead the Foxes attack as they welcome Crystal Palace at the King Power Stadium this afternoon. 

Daka will be making only his fourth start of the season and will be looking to help City to their second win of the season. 

Brendan Rogers has named a strong squad with Youri Tielemans captaining the side in the absence of the injured John Evans.

Daka is supported by the in-form James Madison and the tricky Harvey Barnes on either wing. 

Daniel Amartey replaces Evans in the back four as he joins Timothy Castagne, Wout Faes and James Justin.

Tielemans is joined by Boubaker Soumaré and Kieran Drewsbury Hall in midfield with Dan Ward maintaining his place between the sticks. 

Daka is rated as the fourth most effective striker in the English Premier League season with a goal contribution every 83 minutes played for players who have played at least 100 minutes

The Leicester City striker has scored 3 goals in 9 English Premier league appearances.

Daka netted against Brighton before scoring in the Foxes last two Premier League games against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth.

Kick off at King Power is set for 13:30 Central African time.
