This could be an interesting match as Everton have their presumed home advantage while Leicester City are ahead 14 points in the Premier League table.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Everton form and stats
7 victories, 5 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what Everton have to build on here at Goodison Park in the Premier League. Their last two home games have resulted in two points, meaning they were both draws.
Everton are confident in defense, having played 216 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
It's back home for Everton, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Norwich City away with the result 1-0. Michael Keane found the net in that victory. Before that, Everton drew at home versus Liverpool.
This is expected to be a close game, with Everton perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Everton as a small favourite), we find three games. Everton has won two of these, drawn one and lost zero.
Everton are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 15 games. Everton have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Leicester City form and stats
7-3-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Leicester City in their Premier League matches away.
Leicester delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Brighton & Hove Albion (placed 15th) in their previous match; a Premier League game. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Watford that ended 1-1.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Leicester City in our archives, and the results are: one win for Leicester, one draw and two defeats.
Leicester has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 29 goals from 15 games. Leicester are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 14 times in 15 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
