League leaders Leicester will check on defender Ritchie De Laet and top scorer David Nugent ahead of the visit of managerless Crystal Palace.

Both players were withdrawn during the second half of the 1-0 win over Brighton on Tuesday night as City maintained their 100% home record in the npower Championship to remain top of the table.
"Ritchie came off with a tight chest. He will be assessed but hopefully he will be okay," said manager Nigel Pearson.
"Nugent got a knock on his Achilles and we had Jamie Vardy on the bench, so we thought it was prudent to take him off at that point. There is no point running a player into the ground."
Defender Sean St Ledger is still recovering from a hamstring injury and will not be involved.
