Leicester v Crystal Palace ratings: Maddison 7, Amartey 5; Guehi 7, Ayew 4

Struggling Leicester remain in trouble after stalemate

LEICESTER RATINGS: Danny Ward 6 – Forced into action in the 64th minute but the goalkeeper was able to match Edouard’s effort for Palace’s only shot on target. Reuters

Timothy Castagne 6 – Made several vital interventions in defence. The fullback got forward well but lacked quality in the final third. Action Images

Daniel Amartey 5 – An inconsistent display as the Ghana international did well up against Zaha but was prone to errors in possession. Getty

Wout Faes 7 – A strong defensive performance for the centre-back who deserved a clean sheet. Carded in the 56th minute. Action Images

James Justin 6 – Had some respectable moments in defence but looked at his best when driving forwards. Getty

Boubakary Soumare 5 – Did not look after the ball well in the first half but put in a shift and was replaced after 65 minutes. PA

James Maddison 7 – Got in plenty of promising positions but his final ball was lacking. The England international arguably should have done better with his chances with Gareth Southgate watching on. Booked for simulation in the final minutes which sees him suspended for next game against Leeds. AFP

Youri Tielemans 6 – Solid performance and the captain carried out his defensive duties well. PA

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall 5 – Got into some dangerous areas but his delivery often lacked the desired quality. Reuters

Harvey Barnes 7 – Looked to be Leicester’s biggest threat. Ghosted past Ward and drove inside after 16 minutes but could not slot the ball past Guaita. The Palace goalkeeper denied the midfielder again after 51 minutes following another neat one-two with Daka. PA

Patson Daka 6 – Looked dangerous when surging forwards and the striker linked up well with Barnes. Getty Images

SUBS: Jamie Vardy (Daka, 66) 6 – Got in behind Riedewald straight away, but no clear chances fell his way after coming on. Reuters

Nampalys Mendy (Soumare, 66) 6 – Came on to replace a tiring Soumare after 66 minutes. Dennis Praet (Tielemens, 82) – N/A Kelechi Iheanacho (Barnes, 85) – N/A. Action Images

CRYSTAL PALACE RATINGS: Vicente Guiata 7 – Commanded his area well and produced a handful of smart saves, denying Barnes twice from close range. AFP

Tyrick Mitchell 5 – The left-back struggled after picking up a knock to his ankle in the first half and was replaced in the 56th minute. Getty

Marc Guehi 7 – Made some vital clearances to relieve pressure. Could have done better with his header from a free kick in the 30th minute, but the centre-back was likely offside when he headed over the bar. AFP

Joachim Andersen 5 – Booked within the first ten minutes after catching Daka and the Dane looked uncomfortable against the pace of the Leicester frontman. AP

Joel Ward 5 – Struggled with the movement of Barnes on the left and was dragged off position too easily. AFP

Eberechi Eze 6 – Worked hard in the midfield and fired a blistering shot just over the bar in the 43rd minute. Reuters

Jeffrey Schlupp 6 – Moved the ball well and looked to drive his side forward. The Ghana international did well to pick out Edouard on a couple of occasions. Getty

Cheick Doucoure 5 – Looked overrun at times in the centre of the park and was replaced after 56 minutesd. Booked at the end of first half for a foul on Dewsbury-Hall. AFP

Jordan Ayew 4 – Anonymous throughout the game. Getty

Wilfried Zaha 6 – A subdued performance from the Ivory Coast international, who didn’t get as involved as he would have liked before being replaced by Mateta. Getty

Odsonne Edouard 6 – Led a lacklustre Palace frontline. Looked to trouble Amartey in the opening stages but his impact faded as the game went on and was substituted for Olise. PA

SUBS: Jairo Riedewald (Mitchell, 56) 4 – Never looked entirely comfortable in defence after coming on for Mitchell. Action Images

Luka Milivojevic (Doucoure, 56) 6 – Brought on to shore up the midfield with over half an hour to play. PA

Michael Olise (Edouard, 65) 5 – Unlucky not to have started the game, but the 20-year-old could not add any attacking threat following his introduction. Reuters

Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said his struggling players were "giving everything" after a frustrating goalless draw with Crystal Palace left them in deep trouble in the Premier League relegation zone.

Leicester's only league win this season was a 4-0 victory against Nottingham Forest earlier this month but that proved to be a false dawn for the 2016 champions.

Rodgers' side, who have the leakiest defence in the division, were solid at the back on Saturday but failed to capitalise on their chances in the autumn sunshine.

"I thought the performance was good," under-pressure Rodgers told BT Sport. "We limited a very good Crystal Palace team, with a lot of individual players of real quality, to one chance.

"Apart from that we pressed the game well, in particular in the second half when the pressure on the ball was much better. We got into good areas but failed to make the final pass to get us that goal."

Rodgers said a lack of wins meant pressure on him was inevitable.

"The players are fighting and running and giving everything," he said. "I always felt after the summer market we would have to fight our way through the season but the players are doing that and hopefully we will get better results as the season goes on."
