Preview

Five games to go for Everton, and with barely about everything going their way from Saturday ’ mho fixtures, the Blues need points urgently. Watford ’ s relegation was confirmed and Burnley slipped to a heavy home get the better of, and immediately the Toffees have two games in hand over the Clarets, but all of that will count for nothing if they don ’ metric ton start making those count by picking up points .
nowadays ’ second opponents Leicester City were knocked out of the Europa Conference League at the semi-final degree in disappointing circumstances on Thursday, so it will be interesting to see how many changes Brendan Rodgers will make and indeed with nothing to play for how motivate they will be .
The last time the two sides met equitable a couple of weeks ago the Blues were coming off a ten-day break and looked flat as the Foxes easily passed their way out of the crusade and ran rings around their hosts at Goodison Park .
Everton ’ s away shape has been absolutely awful — the worst in the league actually — so Frank Lampard will have to find a way to channel the aggression and saturation we saw at Anfield and then last weekend against Chelsea at the King Power Stadium for the Blues to have any chance of surviving the drop .

Last Meeting

The two sides good met at Goodison Park towards the end of April in a reschedule fastness, with the game ending 1-1. The Foxes had started firm and scored early on, and threatened to grab another missing batch of chances, but the Blues had their own opportunities to score besides with Richarlison blameworthy for a couple of boastfully misses. The brazilian made up for his waste though in the dying minutes of the game with a well-taken equalizer in a frantic finish where either side could have snatched all three points .
The concluding time the Toffees went to King Power Stadium was in December 2020 when the Blues came away with a goodly 2-0 win behind close doors, with Richarlison and Mason Holgate grabbing the goals. Richy particularly enjoys playing against the Foxes, and has scored five goals in seven league fixtures against Leicester .
