Everton-Leicester is a match valid for the fifteenth day of the Premier League and is played on Saturday at 18:30: predictions, TV, streaming.
There is a lot of chaos in the right-hand side of the current Premier League table. Which, after thirteen days in the league, remains very short. There are only five points between bottom-of-the-table Nottingham Forest and 12th-placed Everton. No one, therefore, can feel safe at the moment. In the relegation zone we also surprisingly find Leicester, the protagonist of a disastrous start, the reflection of a purchase campaign under the banner of total downsizing. But Brendan Rodgers has remained in the saddle, has won the club’s trust several times and has managed to put the Foxes back on track, even finding his best players such as Vardy, Maddison, Tielemans and Barnes.
The next step is to move out of the red zone, into which Leicester have fallen back after a narrow 0-1 defeat to Manchester City at the King Power Stadium thanks to a De Bruyne prowess. It was a predictable misstep, but one that interrupted the first winning streak of Vardy and his team-mates, who had beaten Leeds and Wolverhampton, two direct competitors for safety. Frank Lampard’s Everton, who will host the Foxes in the last Saturday afternoon’s advance, are also going through the motions. Even the Toffees have launched comforting signals, as shown by the 3-0 at Crystal Palace and the external draw (0-0) at home of Fulham. But it is not enough, we said, to be able to afford any slowdowns, especially at this time of the season.

The Prediction
Two teams who needed to improve in the non-possession phase of the ball in order to climb the table. Leicester are probably the more confidence-inspiring of the two, not least because of the way they managed to harness City for large stretches of the game last Saturday. It will be a very evenly matched match at Goodison Park and it would be no surprise if it ended in a draw, with both sides scoring.
The Everton-Leicester line-up probables
- EVERTON (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Coleman, Coady, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Onana, Gueye; Gray, Iwobi, Gordon; Calvert-Lewin.
- LEICESTER (4-1-4-1): Ward; Castagne, Faes, Amartey, Justin; Ndidi; Maddison, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes; Vardy.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-1
