Everton
Everton survived the drop to the EFL Championship by a narrow margin last season, so Frank Lampard and his boys will be looking to stay well clear of the Premier League’s relegation zone this time around.
Will Toffees Make Home Advantage Count?
Ahead of this one, the Merseysiders are in 12th position, but they are just three points above Leicester City, who occupy the final relegation place at present.
Everton had a tough start, failing to win any of their opening six on their 2022-23 EPL schedule. However, they did draw four on the trot after opening up with two defeats.
Their first win came against West Ham United in mid-September, which they followed up with another victory at Southampton.
Everton’s Biggest Issue
Consistency has been Everton’s biggest issue in recent times, and the Toffees crashed to back-to-back defeats to Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United after those victories over the Hammers and Saints.
Lampard’s boys got back to winning ways in their last home fixture, however, easing past Patrick Vieira’s Crystal Palace thanks to goals from:
- Dominic Calvert-Lewin
- Anthony Gordon
- Dwight McNeil
They then picked up a handy draw at Fulham last weekend. Can the home side extend their unbeaten run to three games this Saturday? Stay tuned for our Everton vs Leicester City picks.

Leicester City
Leicester City made a dreadful start to their 2022-23 Premier League schedule, drawing their opening game with Brentford before suffering six league defeats on the spin.
Can Foxes Return Home with Positive Result?
However, the 6-2 loss at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in October acted as a real wakeup call, as Brendan Rodgers’ men have been far more competitive since.
Leicester head to Goodison Park having won three of their last six in the Premier League, seeing off the likes of Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Two of those victories have ended in big 4-0 scorelines.
They held their own against champions Manchester City last time out, falling to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the King Power Stadium courtesy of Kevin De Bruyne’s wonder strike.
Champion Six Years Ago
Leicester, who were Premier League champions just six years ago, find themselves in the bottom three right now.
However, three points at Everton on Saturday will lift them above the dotted line and take them level with the Merseysiders.
Rodgers will be pleased with his side’s response after the horror run of six straight defeats, and City will be eager to build on their emphatic 4-0 victory at Wolves in their previous away game.
