On Wednesday, from 19:45 pm, Everton receives the visit of Leicester, in the quarterfinals of the English League Cup. The hosts have batch issues with Digne, Gomes, Schneiderlin, Walcott and Delph, while Leicester come without Matty James. The revelation of the season in the Premier League, Leicester is a favorite at online bookmakers. Focused on the fight in the UCL area of England, Leicester could overlook this difficult match at Goodison Park.
Everton seems to be back in shape after changing Marco Silva with interim Duncan Ferguson. The Scottish manager revitalized the “candy” team, which comes after a victory with Chelsea (3-1) and a draw with Manchester United (1-1). Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin were decisive in both games, and the atmosphere in the home team seems to be better now. At the weekend, Everton led Old Trafford 1-0, but it was tied late by the “Devils”.
Instead, Leicester ended their series of victories in the championship after a 1-1 draw with Norwich on their own ground. It was a modest result compared to recent wins against Brighton (2-0), Everton (2-1, in the championship), Watford (2-0) or Aston Villa (4-1). In the last straight match, even at King Power Stadium, Everton led thanks to the goal scored by Richarlison (’23), but the achievements of Vardy (’68) and Iheanacho (’90 +4) brought all the “foxes” points.
It was a game in which only eight corners were executed, but this time we expect a slightly more open game, especially since the pressure is lower than in the championship. Both teams display an offensive football in the Cup matches, and the bet on goals from both sides has been the winner in 3 of the last 4 direct duels. Even with more reservations in the first “11”, Wednesday’s rivals can provide an attractive show, and we will bet accordingly. The qualifying bet brings a 2.05 for Everton and a 1.85 for Leicester.
EVERTON – LEICESTER PROBABLE TEAM
Everton: Pickford; Sidibe, Keane, Mina, Baines; Holgate, Delph; Bernard, Sigurdsson, Richarlison; Tosun
Leicester City: Ward; Justin, Morgan, Soyuncu, Fuchs; Choudhury, Praet; Gray, Perez, Barnes; Iheanacho
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,64
