📰 Team News: Everton

Jean-Philippe Gbamin (Achilles tendon rupture) and Cenk Tosun (Cruciate Ligament Surgery) will not be able to play for Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti.

It seems likely that The Toffees should go for a 4-4-2 system for the game and select Jordan Pickford, Lucas Digne, Mason Holgate, Michael Keane, Seamus Coleman, Bernard Anicio Caldeira Duarte, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Andre Gomes, Alex Iwobi, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

🗞️ Team News: Leicester City

In an otherwise healthy squad, there’s just the sole fitness problem for the Leicester City gaffer Brendan Rodgers to be concerned with. Ricardo Pereira (Cruciate Ligament Injury) won’t be playing here.

From our viewpoint, The Foxes seem most likely to elect for a 4-1-4-1 lineup using Kasper Schmeichel, James Justin, Jonny Evans, Çağlar Söyüncü, Benjamin Chilwell, Onyinye Wilfred Ndidi, Ayoze Perez, Youri Tielemans, James Maddison, Harvey Barnes and Jamie Vardy.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Leicester City and Everton are both capable of scoring here. Let’s see how this one goes, but it looks this could be a draw. Our tip is therefore for a tight encounter, finishing with a 1-1 score when all is said and done.
