Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:
Leicester are at 8/13, a draw is at 3/1, and Everton are at 17/4.
Leicester will enter the weekend in a lofty second place and are being considered as title contenders by many due to their great performances thus far. They have lost just twice and have nine wins from 13, putting them on 29, eight off Liverpool’s torrid pace. They have been on a roll of late, too, so it’s going to take a lot to stop them. Only eight goals have been surrendered by their defence, quite the strong showing for the Foxes.
Everton will start play in 16th place on 14 points, just four above the dreaded drop zone. That kind of form will have Marco Silva on the precipice of being sacked, as will their loss to Norwich last weekend. They had four points from two outings going into that loss, so their momentum was undone against a side they really should have beaten. It’s a big, big problem that needs to be extinguished before they are forced to make yet another change at the helm.
At home, the Foxes have five wins and a draw in six outings and have rattled off five wins consecutively now. They have only given up three goals at the King Power and are averaging over two per match. As for Everton, they have just four points from a possible 18 on their travels. They did get that win over Southampton last time out, breaking a four game losing run, but it’s a big ask for them to get back-to-back here.
Ladbrokes have no for both sides scoring at 19/20.
Vardy scoring anytime is at Betfair for 1.83.
Rodgers and co. have no reason not to go out and take this victory. They have been rolling of late, and that keeps up as they remain lethal up top and strong in defence to deny Everton any opportunity to steal a point.
Brendan Rodgers only has Matty James out with injuries at the moment, which is no doubt helping him and his side on their quest toward the top of the table.
They were made to be patient last weekend away to Brighton, but in the end, the Foxes got their goal and took the lead through Ayoze Perez’s fourth PL goal. The former Newcastle man has been his usual inconsistent self, but he can get away with that now that he is surrounded by Vardy, Maddison, and co. Speaking of Vardy, he kept up his recent hot streak by converting a penalty to ice the game with the Seagulls. It was his 12th of the season, putting him to clear of the next closest challenger.
Leicester have won each of their last five matches:
0-2 win at Brighton
2-0 home win vs Arsenal
0-2 win at Crystal Palace
1-3 win at Burton Albion (EFL Cup)
0-9 win at Southampton
Marco Silva will be missing midfielders Andre Gomes and Jean-Philippe Gbamin and winger Bernard for this tricky trip to the Foxes.
The Toffees need a spark, and a man that can certainly provide one of those, on his day, is Richarlison. The Brazilian is capable, as three goals and two assists show so far, and he can do damage from a number of areas, making him a valuable threat to have at his manager’s disposal. Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be another vital player here. No matter what they do, they keep coming back to him up front. He’s got three goals, tied with Richarlison for the team lead, and appears to be their best forward currently.
Everton have two losses, two wins, and a draw in their last five matches:
0-2 home loss vs Norwich
1-2 win at Southampton
1-1 home draw vs Tottenham
2-0 home win vs Watford (EFL Cup)
3-2 loss at Brighton
