Tricky one here, they were horrible to start the year and looked an easy win. Now they are on a bit of a hot streak, so may be difficult to beat. 3 points would obviously be huge for us, I think the key will be getting at their poor defense. They have good attackers and can score goals, thats not the problem for them. Its really how bad they are in the back and how many they give up, though thats not our strength. Looks like a game of our strength vs their strength, and our weakness vs their weakness.

It's a weird one to predict due to that, could see this being one where both counter the others strengths and don't exploit their weaknesses and fizzling to a nil nil. On the flip side the opposite could happen and could end up with shedloads of goals.

Key is if there's an early goal think we could see 6-7 in this game - hopefully 4-2 to us
 
Just had a gander on there forum and Jesus Christ what a weird bunch these are, It seems as though 90% of their fans still think they are premier League champions.

Every post is how rubbish we are and basically how great they are, they should turn us over etc etc.

Weird people, they are [Poor language removed], just like us.

We simply need to score first, there just isn't enough goals in us to have the confidence that we can come back to win games (Southampton away the exception)

Get in front and hopefully we'll see a similar performance to the one against Palace which will hopefully see is get the 3 points.

3-1 to the Everton.

Bookies calling for a draw:

Everton v Leicester​

Read James Cantrill's (@JimmythePunt) full preview here

Last campaign, the Blues conceded an average of 1.7 goals per game, this season, only three teams have conceded fewer than their tally of 12, not conceding a goal in exactly four hours of top flight action.

However, scratch the surface and their appeals to be an element of fortune to Everton’s improved backline.

According to the underlying data, they have shipped an xGA of 23.33, so could have conceded 11 more goals then they actually have.

During their stalemate with Fulham, the Cottagers generated an xG of 2.00 and in Everton’s penultimate game, Crystal Palace racked up an xG of 0.80.

There has been a lack of goals as far as the Toffees are concerned, however, this trend looks unlikely to continue, especially given Saturday’s opposition.

The Foxes games have averaged 3.5 goals with OVER 2.5 GOALS clicking in 69% of their domestic fixtures, so the even money available certainly looks a play.

Score prediction: Everton 2-2 Leicester (Sky Bet odds: 12/1)
