On Wednesday night, at 18:00, Leicester and Everton will face King Power Stadium, in what promises to be a spectacular duel in the English first league. The hosts cannot count on the injured Amartey, Pereira, Castagne and Soyuncu, while the “candies” are without the services of Delph, Digne, Gbamin and Coleman, and James Rodriguez is uncertain.
They are not the most consistent teams in the Premier League, but we are definitely talking about high quality teams, with world-class players. Leicester is in 3rd place (goal average 24-15), with 24 points, one point behind Liverpool and Tottenham.
With three wins and two defeats in the last five stages, Leicester are above Everton in the league – the “candies” are in 7th place (goal difference 21-18), with 20 points. The fight for supremacy is extremely balanced in England, so any success can take you to the podium! That’s why we rely on an exciting pace, because only victory matters.
Everton is coming after some excellent results, which have forgotten the series failures this fall. Last stage, Carlo Ancelotti’s team respected Chelsea: 1-0 at home, with the goal scored from the penalty spot by Gylfi Sigurdsson, in the 22nd minute.
In vain did the Londoners dominate statistics and possession. The victory was ensured by a perfect defensive game of the hosts, who have only one failure in the last four stages: 3-2 at Fulham, 1-0 with Chelsea, 1-1 with Burnley and 0-1 at home, with Leeds. Instead, Leicester have three wins in a row in all competitions: 2-1 at Sheffield United, 2-0 at AEK Athens and 3-0 at Brighton at the weekend.
In 4 of the last 6 matches played at home by Leicester, at least three goals were scored, so it is normal to bet again on a spectacular match. Everton has 3 wins in 6 away games and promises to attack King Power Stadium to move up in the standings. The Premier League top scorer, Dominic Calvert-Lewin (11 successes) will also be in the guest camp. It remains to be seen which of the teams will appear fresher in this match.
