Three Leicester City vs Everton predictions
Leicester 3-1 Everton (22/1 with SBK)
Everton have not won any of their last 13 league away games, losing nine including six by a 2+ goal margin.
Jamie Vardy to score anytime (49/10 with SBK)
Jamie Vardy has scored six goals in 14 Premier League matches against Everton, including one in his most recent appearance.
3+ home goals (39/10 with SBK)
Everton have conceded over 2.5 goals in their opening four Premier League games.
How both teams go into Leicester City vs Everton
This season will be about Leicester staying up under new manager Steve Cooper after being promoted after one season in the Championship. Jamie Vardy was their top scorer last season with 18 goals, and he showed he still has something to give by scoring the equaliser in the opening game against Tottenham. This earned the Foxes their first point heading into September’s international break, and they followed that up by playing out a 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace despite leading.
It’s been a miserable start for Everton, who failed to pick up a single point after four matches. Sean Dyche’s men began with back-to-back humbling losses against Brighton and Tottenham, but those heavy defeats were nothing compared to leading 2-0 against Bournemouth heading into the final three minutes of regulation time before conceding three unanswered goals. It was a loss of epic proportions as this was the latest a team has ever been two or more goals ahead in a game they’ve gone on to lose in Premier League history. It was déjà vu at Villa last time out, meaning they became only the second side in Premier League history to lose back-to-back games after leading by 2+ goals in both, after Bournemouth in October/November 2022.

Everton team news
Youssef Chermiti (foot) and Armando Broja (foot) are expected to remain sidelined due to injury, while Jarrad Branthwaite (groin) and Nathan Patterson (hamstring) have increased their participation in training. However, their lack of preseason action still leaves them doubtful regarding match fitness. Séamus Coleman is also uncertain to play after sustaining an injury while on international duty with Ireland.
