Leicester City

LDLWLD

Leicester City will play in this match after a 2-2 Premier League tied result versus Crystal Palace.

In that game, Leicester City managed 33% possession and 9 shots at goal with 4 on target. For Leicester City, goals were scored by Jamie Vardy (21') and Stephy Mavididi (46'). For their opponents, Crystal Palace got 20 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Jean-Philippe Mateta (47', 92') was the scorer for Crystal Palace.

It has been a rare occasion in recent times that Leicester City have kept a clean sheet. In fact, Leicester City have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 9 goals in the process. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily follow through here, however.

Their past results show that Leicester City:

• have not lost a league tie with Everton in their last 2 games.
• are without a win at home for the past 3 league matches.

Everton

LLWLLD

In the game prior to this, Everton drew 1-1 in the EFL Cup tie with Southampton.

In that game, Everton managed 26% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Everton was Abdoulaye Doucouré (20'). Southampton had 11 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Taylor Harwood-Bellis (32') was the scorer for Southampton. Southampton ran out winners after a 5-6 penalty shootout.

Demonstrating their fondness for action-packed matches, the back of the net has been hit 22 times in the last 6 matches in which Everton have played, yielding an average of 3.67 goals for each fixture. Opposing teams have hit 14 of those goals.

Looking at their past form shows that Everton:

• have not lost to Leicester City in away games against them for the last 3 league games.
• are without a win away from home in their last 13 league matches. Their travelling supporters must be so depressed.

🗞️ Team News: Leicester City

It’s our opinion that The Foxes will probably make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time with Mads Hermansen, James Justin, Wout Faes, Memeh Caleb Okoli, Victor Kristiansen, Harry Winks, Oliver Skipp, Jordan Ayew, Wilfred Ndidi, Stephy Mavididi and Jamie Vardy.

ℹ️ Team News: Everton

Everton boss Sean Dyche has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Vitaliy Mykolenko (unknown injury), Armando Broja (Achilles tendon problems) and Jarrad Branthwaite (Groin surgery) won’t be making appearances.

We are inclined to think that The Toffees seem likely to make use of a 4-4-1-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Jordan Pickford, Ashley Young, James Tarkowski, Michael Keane, Vitalii Mykolenko, Jack Harrison, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Tim Iroegbunam, Iliman Ndiaye, Dwight McNeil and D. Calvert-Lewin.

✨ Prediction

We feel that in this game, Everton would be disappointed if they were not to breach the defence of this Leicester City side, but it possibly won’t quite be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re going for a narrow 2-1 win for Leicester City at the end of this one. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
