Both Leicester and Everton find themselves at the lower half of the table with the latter even being last after matchday four. Neither team has managed to win since the start of the Premier League season and points will be severely needed if these teams are to ensure their survival in the Premier League.
Leicester Team News
Leicester’s winless run has seen them reach a draw with the likes of Tottenham and Crystal Palace, which at the very least has given them 2 points. But it has not been the return that The Foxes envisioned. With each passing fixture, it looks like they might be involved in a relegation battle. The good news is that the team has managed to score a goal in every Premier League game up to this point and some of the results could be down to bad luck. However, Leicester has also conceded at least 1 in each game as well and this leaky defence could pose issues for the team going forward.
Everton Team News
Unlike Leicester, Everton have yet to secure any points from their games as their Premier League record stands at 4 losses out of their 4 games. The Toffees are in a crisis and all things point to a repeat of last season in which they were involved in a relegation battle. Sean Dyche will once again have the hefty task of saving this club, but his start has been less than optimal. Anything but the 3 points against Leicester could mean his firing and dragging the club to yet another drawa. All of this is amid the ongoing battle between investors for the takeover of the club.
Head-to-Head-Games
Despite the struggles faced by Everton, historically speaking they have done rather well against Leicester. Looking at the last 5 head-to-head fixtures we can see a win for both teams and 3 draws. The Foxes’ last home win against the Toffees came way back in 2019. Four of the last 5 meetings between these two produced goals from both sides.

Leicester – Everton Betting Prediction
These two are clubs that are desperate for points, especially Everton. Nothing but a win here will be the aim for both. Leicester have shown that they can score regularly, but also concede just as often. Everton might have shown signs of waking up against Aston Villa, but it was not enough. Sean Dyche’s team usually picks up steam in September and he will be hoping that this happens against Leicester. Looking at the situation of these 2, their form and the head-to-head history between them, my pick is for both teams to score. It is something common when they play and given the fact that a win is a must for both here, both team’s scoring doesn’t seem ludicrous.
