Why you should back Leicester City
The Foxes lost 3-1 to reigning league champion Manchester City in their first match under Smith but defeated Wolves 2-0 last Saturday. Jamie Vardy equalized in the 80th minute against Leeds, and he remains dangerous even though he has had an off year (two goals, four assists). The Leicester attack has plenty of players who can cause trouble for the Everton back line, which has yielded 50 goals in 33 games. Harvey Barnes (10 goals), James Maddison (nine goals, seven assists), Kelechi Iheanacho (five goals, four assists) and Patson Daka (four goals, three assists) are all playmakers.
Leicester City have scored 44 goals, 19 more than Everton's league-low 25, and have scored in seven of their past eight games. They have conceded a league-high 57, but only 21 of those have come at King Power. The Foxes are minus-2 in goal differential at home, while Everton are minus-16 away from Goodison Park. Leicester dominated the November meeting, outshooting Everton 22-12 and putting eight shots on target while conceding two. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why you should back Everton
The Toffees have been fighting all season for results and have taken one point from Chelsea, Tottenham and Crystal Palace over their past six matches. They have an expected goals of 35.2, so they haven't been finishing chances as often as they should. Still, they have attackers who can cause trouble in Dwight McNeil (five goals), Demarai Gray (four) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (one in 13 games). Leicester's 57 goals conceded are the most in the league.
Everton should be fiercely motivated after being routed by the Magpies, and the Foxes don't have anywhere near that quality. The Toffees haven't been relegated since 1954, and they are running out of time to stay in the top flight. They are just six points behind 15th-place West Ham, and getting something out of this game is crucial. They have a huge advantage in goal, with Jordan Pickford ranking third in the EPL in saves (111) and eighth in save percentage (72.0). See who to back at SportsLine.
