Everton vs Leicester City

Goodison Park is the venue as Everton and Leicester City go head-to-head in a tasty-looking Premier League fixture.

A morale-boosting 1-0 home triumph over Manchester United last time out handed Everton’s bid to avoid relegation a boost as they head into proceedings holding a three-point lead on 18th-placed Burnley. Frank Lampard’s men have won back-to-back Premier League home games by an identical 1-0 scoreline and could make it three home league victories in a row for the first time since September. However, the ‘Toffees’ have not won consecutive Premier League matches since September, while they’ve suffered defeats in 18 of their last 21 top-flight fixtures when conceding at least once (W2, D1). That sounds troubling, as Everton have registered just one clean sheet across their 15 Premier League meetings with Leicester. Yet, it’s worth noting that they lost just two of those 15 H2Hs (W5, D8).

In the meantime, Leicester City’s heartbreaking 2-1 loss away to Newcastle United last time out has brought their three-game unbeaten Premier League streak to a halt (W2, D1). Despite their patchy form this season, the ‘Foxes’ look destined for another top-half finish, though their away record has nothing to do with that. Indeed, Brendan Rodgers’ men have picked up just one victory in their last ten Premier League matches away from home (D3, L6), conceding 2+ goals in each of those six reverses. Only four Premier League sides have shipped more league goals on hostile turf than Leicester (30) this season, with Rodgers’ team letting in 15 goals apiece in both halves of road action played so far. Additionally, only three sides have dropped more points from winning positions than Leicester (17) this term.
