Two sides look to claim their first win of the season clash at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace welcome newly-promoted Leicester to Selhurst Park on Saturday, with both sides having claimed just a single point so far this term.

Palace were handed a tough set of opening fixtures against a trio of London rivals, but boss Oliver Glasner will have nevertheless been disappointed to see his side capitulate in their defeats to West Ham and Brentford while only claiming a point against Chelsea in a game they could have won had they took their chances.

Leicester were similarly handed an unforgiving set of tough first games on their return to the EPL, having had to face Spurs, Fulham and Midlands rivals Aston Villa. Foxes boss Steve Cooper will nevertheless be encouraged by the fact that his side have scored in each of those fixtures and will fancy their chances against a Palace side that look vulnerable on the counter.

Where and When to Watch the Game

Crystal Palace play Leicester City on Saturday, Sept. 14, at Selhurst Park. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. BST local time, making it a 10 a.m. ET or 7 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada and a 12 a.m. AEST kickoff in the early hours of Sunday in Australia.

Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch game as it happens wherever you are in the world.

How to watch Crystal Palace vs. Leicester live in the US and Canada

Saturday's Crystal Palace vs. Leicester match is streaming on USA Network, which you can access as part of your cable package or at the NBC Sports website with a valid login, and it can also be streamed via Sling TV and other, more expensive streaming TV services.

Sling TV's Blue plan includes USA Network, making it a great option for those wanting to watch Premier League action. It's $40 per month and features over 40 channels, including other sports channels like ESPN and FS1.

How to Watch the Match if You're Outside of the US or Canada

If you find yourself unable to view EPL matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you'll get three months free and save 49%. That's the equivalent of $6.67 a month with code SPECIALDEAL, which should be automatically applied.

Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

How to watch Crystal Palace vs. Leicester live in the UK

No broadcaster has the rights to show this game live in the UK, due to the traditional Saturday 3 p.m. kickoff blackout, which prohibits matches being shown in the region at that time in order to protect attendances throughout the English football pyramid.

That also means that if you're in the UK traveling for pleasure or for work, you're unlikely to be able to watch the game like you normally would at home, thanks to geo-blocking.

There's one option to get around this, however. By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and go from there.
