In the end Brendan Rodgers and Patrick Vieira shook hands after a stalemate and the former will be pleased his side looked better defensively and will try to use that point as a building block. Even if the Leicester fans booed their team at the final whistle.

What we learned from Leicester vs Crystal Palace

Two teams are happy about a point: This is not a game to be remembered for long and both teams have come to a point where they have been perfectly content with a point. After Leicester’s disastrous start to the season (losses seven out of nine), a point here showed they can support defensively and Wout, Amartey, Castagne and Justin rarely struggled as a back four. For a team that had conceded the most goals in the PL (24) before this weekend, it was a big step forward. As for Palace, they are looking for some consistency and a home win over Leeds followed by a draw at Leicester is a very good return from those two games. They are now very well positioned for games against Wolves, Everton, West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Fulham and Bournemouth in their next six and can be more attacking.

Maddison is Leicester’s big hope: With Gareth Southgate looking on, James Maddison was once again Leicester’s brightest spark in attack. He had a great chance early in the second half but missed it wide and his grimace said it all. He kept tucking in, trying to get on the ball and turning in dangerous areas, and Maddison plays with creativity and freedom in a side that faces a skirmish against relegation. It’s not easy, but his character and quality have always been clear and maybe England will get him to the World Cup after all. The only problem was his late leap into the box when he was looking for a penalty. He has taken a booking and Leicester will now be without their captain for their midweek trip to Leeds.

Tactical focus

Leicester’s 4-1-4-1 formation made them tough to beat and they played like a team afraid of making mistakes. After her start to the season, that’s understandable, but Brendan Rodgers won’t be happy with the lack of cutting edge. Palace’s 4-3-3 didn’t work this time as they missed Michael Olise getting the ball in midfield and Wilfried Zaha barely had a kick as the Eagles really struggled to stretch Leicester at the break.

stars of the show

James Maddison: Had four of Leicester’s 14 shots and been at the center of every good thing they did. Ruined his trip with a late booking for a dive as he will now miss the trip to Leeds.

Eberechi Eze: I’ve watched his raspy effort topple over in the first half and it’s a delight to watch his trickery and calmness on the ball. Blossoming in a central role.

Wout Faes: Has really settled in at centre-back and this partnership with Amartey looked balanced. The Belgium defender looks like another smart recruit from Leicester.

Important storylines

Leicester have lost seven of their first nine games of the season and there is general malaise at the Foxes as Brendan Rodgers appear to be out of ideas. Yes it’s still early in the season but there have been worrying signs all summer with Kasper Schmeichel and Wesley Fofana leaving and the funds previously available for the Foxes aren’t there as the owner has tightened budgets. As for Palace, they are an extremely determined side under Patrick Vieira and they will now look to start after a very tough series of games to start the season as they take on Wolves, Everton and Southampton after that trip to Leicester line up

In-form players to watch

James Maddison is the only positive for Leicester so far this season as he has scored five goals and added two assists. Leicester have conceded an incredible 24 goals (the most in the Premier League) so Maddison and company know they have to deliver week in and week out to try and get them up there. Patson Daka is also contributing goals (four out of four appearances) and that could be the case if he finally replaces Jamie Vardy in the starting XI. For Palace, Eberechi Eze has been in fine form and was crucial in beating Leeds, while Wilfried Zaha has scored four goals in his first seven games this season and continues to be Palace’s talisman.
