Seven remaining matches of the 25th round of English Premier League will be played on Wednesday evening and in one of more interesting matches ninth-placed Everton meets seventh-positioned Leicester that currently has six points more. Besides, the Foxed are in much better shape than it rival from Liverpool, while last autumn they defeated them at home by 2-0.

Everton

On the other hand Everton can boast with fact that it won both last year’s league matches with Leicester, and its fans believe that now at the Goodison Everton can again achieve a positive result. Everton definitely needs one to regain its self-confidence after the latest five-game winless streak of four defeats and one draw, although one of those defeats was suffered in the FA Cup by the city rival Liverpool.

On the other hand, after three consecutive defeats in the league Everton finally won one point in previous round when it drew with West Bromwich at home. Of course, coach Allardyce players had expected far more from that match and now against the Foxes from Leicester they hope to return to winning habits from December last year. Regarding the team, recovered stopper Keane should return in the starting line-up, while still out of action are injured defenders Coleman, Funes Mori and midfielders McCarthy.

Probable lineups Everton: Pickford – Kenny, Keane, Williams, Martina – Gueye, Schneiderlin – Walcott, Sigurdsson, Bolasie – Tosun

Leicester

Unlike their next rivals, Leicester players come to the Goodison after three wins in a row, where two were won in the FA Cup over lower-league Fleetwood and Peterborough, while in between those two matches Leicester won at home Watford 2-0 in the Premier League. In that way coach Puel players had strengthen their grip over the seventh place in the table, and thanks to that they can play the final part of season without being under much pressure.

It is obvious that the Foxes slowly but surely make a team for next season, where their primarily objective will be reaching European competitions, while this one they will try to do it through the FA Cup, where their rival in the round of 16 is second-division Sheffield United. Let’s add that in last couple of days the club management loaned forwards Musa and Ullou, while due to injuries this match with Everton should skip only stoppers Morgan and Huth, and midfielder James.

Probable lineups Leicester: Schmeichel – Simpson, Dragovic, Maguire, Chillwell – Mahrez, Ndidi, Iborra, Albrighton – Okazaki – Vardy

Verdict:

Regardless that the guests from Leicester are currently in a bit better shape, we expect that Everton finally start playing in accordance with its reputation and qualify of players, which is why we have decided to give them a slight advantage in this match.
