Leicester City suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace as the visitors produced a brilliant display to end the Foxes’ winning run. Here are the major talking points from Leicester’s 0-3 defeat at the King Power Stadium:

Leicester City must improve their defence

If Leicester City are to have any chance of making it to the top four, or even a Europa League spot, then Claude Puel must address the defensive frailties that a lot of the other sides must have taken note of today.

Whereas the first goal was the result of the obvious problems to deal with crosses, the other two goals were scored on the counter-attack. Safe to say, it wasn’t a good sight for anyone who watched the game.

With Manchester City and Manchester United due to visit the King Power Stadium next week, there will have to be some improvements made to City’s back four.
