Bitesize Prediction: Leicester vs Everton – 21/09/24

Competition: Premier League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 7/10 @ 1xBet

Two sides who are still looking to put a maiden Premier League victory on the board this weekend, Leicester will welcome Everton to the King Power on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, suffering what was a real second-half collapse away at Crystal Palace last weekend as they marked their return from September’s international break with a 2-2 stalemate at Selhurst Park, Leicester will be desperate to quickly distribute themselves down. However, although Steve Cooper’s men might have stormed their way to an immediate Premier League return for this season, the Foxes have a real battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their top-flight status. Heading into September’s fortnight interval with a 2-1 loss at home against Aston Villa, the former Nottingham Forest boss is calling on his squad to find some crucial defensive steel. Along with losing all of their final three pre-season appearances by an aggregate score of 5-0, Leicester have also failed to muster a single clean sheet from any of their first four Premier League showdowns.

As for the visitors, suffering what was another spectacular collapse away at Aston Villa last weekend as they slumped to another action-packed 3-2 defeat, Everton find themselves at the heart of a public nightmare. With the pressure on Sean Dyche’s shoulders now at a boiling point, the Blues open this weekend’s fixtures sat rock-bottom of the Premier League table and have come under a tremendous amount of scrutiny. Heading into September’s international break with an infamous 3-2 loss at home against Bournemouth, the former Burnley boss has seen his squad lose all of their first four Premier League appearances. Getting proceedings underway with a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Brighton on August 17th, Everton have remarkably shipped 13 goals on their four-match losing rut. Two sides who have continued to show their own respective defensive struggles, we could be treated to an enjoyable affair on Saturday afternoon.
