Everton and Leicester City face off at Goodison Park on Saturday in a crucial English Premier League encounter.
Both clubs secured important wins last weekend, boosting their survival hopes.
Everton’s Resurgence Under Moyes
Everton have found new life under David Moyes since his return as manager earlier this month.
They earned back-to-back wins for the first time since April, defeating Tottenham and Brighton.
A 1-0 win at Brighton, sealed by Iliman Ndiaye’s penalty, showed their defensive resilience.
Everton’s seven-point gap from the relegation zone brings them close to mid-table safety.
A win on Saturday could push them 10 points clear of the drop zone, depending on other results. This match is a great opportunity to further cement their position.
Leicester’s Struggles and Revival Under Van Nistelrooy
Leicester have struggled this season, but last weekend’s win against Tottenham lifted their spirits.
Before that victory, they had suffered seven straight Premier League defeats. The Foxes’ away form has been particularly poor, with their win at Spurs being their first road victory since November.
New manager Ruud van Nistelrooy was under pressure after just two months in charge.
However, that crucial win moved Leicester out of the relegation zone. A win against Everton would help them build momentum and drag the Toffees back into the battle at the bottom.
Head-to-Head Record and Recent Encounters
Leicester’s last visit to Goodison Park ended in a 2-0 victory, but they still got relegated. That win in 2022 remains their only victory in the last eight meetings between these two clubs.
This fixture is historically known for producing draws. In 35 English Premier League meetings, 17 have ended level, making it the most drawn fixture in the league’s history (minimum 30 games played).
