Everton were shock losers to Brighton while Leicester, straight from their wins over Chelsea and Manchester City, could not keep up the momentum, falling to struggling Cardiff City. The two face off with the hope of getting their groove back with Everton more pressured after managing just one win in the last seven matches and they have no clean sheet in the same run. They get back to playing at home, where in their last match, they shipped in six goals, in the loss to Spurs; they have conceded nine goals in the last three home matches and haven’t won any of them. On the flip side, Leicester have lost three of their last 11 league matches, all the losses coming in the last five games and they carry to this clash a good run away from home in their recent matches, having lost just one of the last five. They have picked eight points from a possible 15 in their last five away league matches and they will be hoping to improve on their run against Everton, having lost three of the last four meetings. Eight of the last 10 meetings between the two sides have produced over 2.5 goals while none of the last eight has ended in a draw. The two sides have met 101 times in history, Everton claiming 38 wins and Leicester 33.
I hear there are a few rumblings among the Everton supporters. What's frustrating for them is their team wins 5-1 at Burnley and then loses 1-0 against Brighton - they must wonder what that's all about. Leicester have had great recent results, with victories over Chelsea and Manchester City. But explain this... they then lose at home to Cardiff! Both the Foxes and Toffees are quite similar - you look at them and say "kick on" - but then they lose. They're in that group below the top sides. Everton are at home so I think they'll win this.
Everton scored 5 goals to Barnley in last game played and Leicester scored 2 goals to City the last season champions. Today favorites are home team because they have better attack and positive results against guest and sure will be over 2 goals scored easily
Looking at Home/Away stats, Everton have scored in all matches at home this season, BTTS happened 70% and only managed a clean sheet on 30%. Leicester only failed to score 10% away, and both will look into scoring to take the 3 points.
