Crucial Match at the Bottom of the Table as Leicester City Host Everton
8148

There is one game to be played in the English Premier League on the 1st of May and it is a massive match between Leicester City and Everton.

The game will be played at the King Power Stadium and the hosts begin the weekend in 18th place on 29 points while the visitors are in 19th place on 28 points.

Leicester City come into the match having picked up a point thanks to a 1-1 draw against relegation rivals Leeds United in the Premier League on Tuesday. It was Leeds United who opened the scoring in the 20th minute but Leicester City struck back with 10 minutes of the match remaining to claim a draw.

The draw at Leeds United means Leicester City are undefeated in their last 2 Premier League fixtures. In addition to the draw at Leeds United, the Foxes beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 at home, coming from behind to take maximum points.

However, trends show Leicester City have recorded just a single victory from their 12 most recent matches in all competitions. Their home form in the Premier League shows just 1 win from their last 5 games and Leicester City have lost 4 of their 5 most recent home league fixtures.

Conceding goals has been a problem at home in the Premier League and Leicester City have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 league games on home soil.

Everton travel to the King Power Stadium following a disappointing 4-1 home loss at the hands of Newcastle United on Thursday night.

Newcastle United opened the scoring in the 28th minute and added a second goal to take command of the match in the 72nd minute of the game. It took just 3 minutes for Newcastle United to add a third goal and despite scoring a goal of their own, Everton conceded a fourth.

The defeat at home to Newcastle United means Everton have failed to win any of their last 6 fixtures, all of which have been in the Premier League. Trends show Everton have recorded only 1 win from their last 10 Premier League games.

Away form in the Premier League shows Everton have failed to win any of their 12 most recent matches on the road. However, they have picked up 3 draws from their last 4 away league games.

Team news and Leicester City are without the injured quartet of Kelechi Iheanacho, Jonny Evans, Jannik Vestergaard, and Ricardo Pereira. They also have doubts over the fitness of Ryan Bertrand.

Everton are expected to be without the injured duo of Ruben Vinagre and Andros Townsend. Seamus Coleman is a doubt.

This is a huge fixture for both teams and there will be plenty of nerves for both the players and fans. Given Leicester City’s recent home defensive record, we expect Everton to score but the Toffees are struggling to win games.

Therefore, this one could end level, with both teams scoring.
