When: Saturday, 21st September, 5 PM
Leicester City will host Everton in a critical early-season clash at the bottom of the Premier League table. Both teams are struggling, with Leicester only managing two points from a possible 12, while Everton sits rock-bottom with four losses from their opening games.
Match Preview
Leicester, promoted last season, are under new management following Enzo Maresca’s departure to Chelsea. Steve Cooper now leads the Foxes, but they’ve found the transition tough. A 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace last time out saw Leicester squander a two-goal lead, highlighting their defensive frailties.
Despite a promising start with a draw against Tottenham, Leicester’s recent form has been patchy, including a recent defeat to Aston Villa and a draw with Crystal Palace.
Everton’s start has been nothing short of disastrous. Sean Dyche’s side have lost all four league games so far, conceding 13 goals and failing to keep a clean sheet.
Their latest games saw them squander 2-0 leads in dramatic fashion, first against Bournemouth and then Aston Villa, leaving them still searching for their first points of the season. With their defensive issues and lack of consistency in attack, the Toffees face a dire situation early on.
Head-to-Head
Historically, this fixture has been high-scoring. The last five meetings between these two teams have seen over 2.5 goals in each match. Everton have struggled defensively against Leicester, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last five encounters.
However, they’ve often been the first to score, with the Toffees finding the net first in five of their last seven games against the Foxes.
