Everton vs Leicester Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League continues its action on Saturday with Everton hosting Leicester City at Goodison Park as both teams strive to avoid relegation. Can the Foxes continue their battle away from the relegation zone, or will the Toffees continue their impressive winning streak?
Everton Preview & Form
Although David Moyes’ return era at Everton began with a slender 1-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa, since then, the Toffees have picked up back-to-back victories. The Toffees are currently riding on an impressive two-match winning streak in the league, beating Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 on their home soil and then following it up with a slender 1-0 victory over Brighton last weekend at the Amex Stadium. The back-to-back victories have significantly eased the Toffees relegation threat fear, as they are now sitting 16th in the league standings with 23 points, seven points clear of the drop zone.
David Moyes’s men will be riding on high confidence on their return to Goodison Park, having secured a crucial 3-2 victory over Tottenham in Moyes’s second home game. The victory ended the Toffees’ streak of three consecutive winless matches at home, and they have now secured three wins at home in the Premier League. The Toffees will look to improve on their attacking threat at home, having failed to score in six of their 11 home matches.
Leicester City Preview & Form
Ruud van Nistelrooy will feel a little relieved of the pressure after Leicester City ended a run of seven successive defeats in the Premier League last weekend. Last weekend, the Foxes pulled off a shocking victory as they came from a goal behind to beat Tottenham 2-1 thanks to Jamie Vardy and second-half goals from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannouss. The victory will provide them confidence coming into this weekend’s game as they now sit 17th in the Premier League standings, one point and a place above the relegation zone. They will look to improve on their defensive vulnerability this season, having failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 16 matches.
On the road, the Foxes have struggled with form, having only won just two games so far in the Premier League while losing eight so far. They have also failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 11 away matches, with eight of the games resulting in both teams finding the back of the net.
