Battle of the Blues
Both sides have been conceding. Both sides have been scoring. Both sides have attacking ambitions and both of them will be scoring.
Leicester
Leicester haven’t drawn a game yet this season, and they won’t be expecting to at home against an Everton side that doesn’t know whether it’s coming or going. Having said that the Foxes haven’t made the most consistent of starts to their Premier League season either - notching up, 3 losses and 4 wins. They’ll be looking to build on two positive results with back to victories against Huddersfield and Newcastle.
They’ve scored in every single game
For all their positive play, the Foxes have only managed to keep two clean sheets in the process, not to mention a drubbing when they lost 4-2 to Bournemouth last month.
On the positive side, they’ve scored in every single game and are definitely a danger to any team when going forward. To boot they have main man Jamie Vardy back, who’s already put in a couple of appearances since suspension and bagged a goal from the penalty spot against Newcastle and one from open play against Huddersfield. He is vital if they’re to succeed.
James Maddison, recently arrived from Norwich, is also proving worth his weight in gold. They have a solid attacking midfielder in him and someone who can get behind the free kicks, punishing both Huddersfield and Newcastle from a dead ball situation.
Leicester’s defence despite having England World Cup hero Maguire on board, has been shaky to say the least. They also have a wealth of experience in Jonny Evans, Wes Morgan and Kasper Schmeichel who was shortlisted to be goalkeeper of the year by FIFA. But it hasn’t been able to click.
Everton
Everton despite spending big in the transfer market have been struggling away from home. The Toffees have only managed two draws to Wolves (2-2) in their opener and Bournemouth also finishing with two goals apiece.
All their key forward men have bagged a goal already
Everton will be looking to build on last week’s 3-0 win against Fulham. They’ve only failed to score in one league match when they lost 0-2 to Arsenal at the Emirates.
Everton have plenty of attacking talent and all their key forward men have bagged a goal already this season. Gylfi Sigurdsson, Richarlison, Theo Walcott, Cenk Tosun and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have all scored for the Toffees. You can see them getting one or two against a Leicester side that’s been conceding. They only need one of their offensive players to put in a shift.
Match Tips
Considering these are two have only kept three clean sheets between them this season, the odds are looking pretty favourable for both teams to score. True they both denied their opposition a goal last weekend, but that was against Fulham and Newcastle who are both struggling at the bottom of the table.
