Everton v Leicester

Everton vs Leicester Preview

Everton will be going in search of a third win on the trot in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon when they play host to fellow strugglers, Leicester City, when the two teams collide at Goodison Park in this relegation ‘six-pointer' as The Toffees look to further build upon their recent success.

Leicester City themselves halted a worrying seven-match losing streak in the domestic top flight last weekend when The Foxes piled on further pressure upon a beleaguered Tottenham outfit and their manager, Ange Postecoglou, as Leicester City registered a welcome 2-1 win away from home in north London.

The arrival of manager David Moyes at Everton in what is his second stint at Goodison Park has had an almost immediate positive effect upon the merseyside club as the Scot has helped guide The Toffees to back-to-back wins against the likes of Tottenham 3-2 at home before posting a 1-0 win away from home down on the south coast at Brighton.

Everton had previously stumbled to three defeats on the trot which had culminated in damaging losses at the hands of Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Aston Villa respectively, while managing to capture just the single win in their preceding 12 league matches.

Despite losing their opening two home games on the trot, Everton have since suffered just another two defeats in their subsequent nine games at Goodison Park, picking up three wins.

Leicester City managed to haul themselves out of the bottom three places in the Premier League table last weekend thanks to an impressive but desperately needed 2-1 win away from home at Tottenham which in turn ended a torrid sequence of defeats in the English top flight.

The Foxes had seemingly found their declining form in free-fall as the east midlands club had been handed no fewer than seven losses on the trot which includes losses in each of their preceding five away games on the trot but Ruud van Nistelrooij's side will approach this upcoming relegation battle up on merseyside with renewed confidence and belief.

Nevertheless, the bigger picture still makes for appalling reading if you're a Leicester City fan as The Foxes have managed to claim just two wins from their previous 15 matches overall in the Premier League, whilst also being dealt no fewer than 11 defeats in the process.

Results away from home also continue to generally elude Leicester City as the visitors have registered just two wins from their last 19 matches overall in the domestic top flight which does not bode well for this Saturday.
