Leicester City midfielder Danny Drinkwater believes that it is crucial for his side to take three points from their Premier League clash against Crystal Palace.

The Foxes are currently bottom of the table and have lost their last two matches, which has stifled their revival built up over the New Year period.

Drinkwater is adamant that the Foxes need to return to winning ways, but knows that they will face a difficult task against Alan Pardew's men.

"We're trying to keep preparations as normal as we can," Drinkwater told the club's official website. "Obviously you tend to keep routines, but it's a massive game and three points will be huge for us this weekend.

"I can't remember too much about the game [at their place] to be honest, but I remember feeling frustrated. I suppose that was their game plan, to frustrate the opposition and it's up to us to unlock them."

Nigel Pearson's side face the Eagles at the King Power Stadium later today.
