Leicester missed the chance to climb out of the Premier League relegation zone as a frustrating 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace left them with just one win from their opening 10 games.
Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes mounted the strongest case to claim victory, with James Maddison, Patson Daka, Harvey Barnes and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall all squandering chances, but there was to be no relief for their under-fire manager in a game bereft of genuine attacking quality.
Palace would register just a single attempt on target in their quest for a first away victory of the season which would have lifted Patrick Vieira’s side into the top half.
The point lifts Leicester up to 19th in the table on five points but the Foxes will be left with a sense of what might have been. Palace, who now have 10 points, move up to 13th place.
