Leicester City face Everton on Saturday afternoon at the King Power Stadium. Leicester will be looking for their first win of the season, whilst Everton are still seeking their first point. Although it seems bizarre to say just 4 games into the season, this has a relegation ‘6 pointer’ feel about it – especially given the way Everton have started.
Leicester have drawn 2 and lost 2 so far this season, although they have managed to score in every game this season which will give the home side some encouragement. Especially as they are against an Everton side who have conceded 13 goals this season which is the highest in the league. Jamie Vardy is proving he is still a threat after scoring 2 goals already this campaign and will fancy himself to score against the leaky Everton defence.
Both sides are very poor defensively. Everton have an xGA of 10.52 which is the worst in the league whilst Leicester’s is 8.42 (5th worst in the league) which could make for an open and high scoring game with plenty of chances. Leicester have had both teams to score land in all 4 league games whilst Everton have seen both teams to score in their last 2 league games.
Sean Dyche is under pressure as Everton manager. Rumours that a loss here could see him sacked – I think Everton will play on the front foot which will result in an open, end to end game.
TIP: Both Teams to Score @ 1.70
