Leicester vs Everton Prediction & Betting Tips (21 September)

Winner of the Championship last year, Leicester only needed one season to return to the elite. The Foxes are logically expected in the fight not to go down in this 2024/2025 financial year. They also got off to a sluggish start in the championship, as evidenced by the lack of victory during the first 4 days. To start, Jamie Vardy's partners held off Tottenham 1-1 before suffering two losses against Fulham 2-1 and Aston Villa 1-2. Last weekend, they took a point at Crystal Palace 2-2. In a very worrying financial situation, Everton has been showing a worrying face for several seasons.

the Liverpool-based club hopes to once again avoid the descent but the first results logically worry all fans. Defeated during the first 4 days, the Toffees already occupy 20th and penultimate place in the Premier League. They lost in turn against Brighton 0-3, Tottenham 4-0, Bournemouth with 3 goals conceded in the last minutes 2-3 and Aston Villa last weekend despite a 2 goal advantage 3-2. Opposed to Southampton this week, Everton failed to secure their ticket for the next round of the League Cup 1-1, elimination following penalties.

Leicester records the withdrawals of substitutes Stolarczyk (goalkeeper) and Opoku (striker) as well as potentially starting striker Daka (7 goals and 5 assists in the Championship last year). Still as dominant at 37 years old, Jamie Vardy (18 goals in the Championship last year) started during the first 3 days and found the net once. Summer recruit Buonanotte (1 goal and 1 assist in PL) made a good debut. During the off-season, Leicester was forced to let go of the excellent midfielder Dewsbury-Hall (Chelsea). In addition, defender Souttar (Sheffield United) and striker Iheanacho (Sevilla FC) also left the club while the experienced Praet and Albrighton were not retained. Conversely, defender Okoli (Atalanta), midfielders Skipp (Tottenham), Golding (Chelsea), El Khannouss (Genk) and Buonanotte (Brighton) and attackers Edouard (Crystal Palace), Fatawu (Sporting), Jordan Ayew (Crystal Palace) and De Cordova-Reid (Fulham) have come to strengthen the ranks of the Foxes. Everton must still deal with the packages of senior defender Branthwaite, offensive rookie Broja and the usual replacements Patterson and Chermiti. Affected by the selection, the fragile right side Coleman is, for his part, uncertain.

Very crumbly behind, the Toffees have already conceded 10 goals after 3 days. Against Bournemouth, Calvert-Lewin stood out with a goal and an assist. He should still be supported by the former Marseillais Ndiaye. During the off-season, Everton made a great financial transaction by selling the very good Belgian midfielder Onana (Aston Villa). Added to this are the transfers of Godfrey (Atalanta) and Dobbin (Aston Villa) as well as the departure at the end of his contract of Andre Gomes. Returning from Brentford this summer, striker Maupay was loaned to OM. These movements allowed the Toffees to strengthen with the arrivals of Ligue 1 residents O'Brien (Lyon), Mangala (Lyon) and Ndiaye (OM) but also midfielder Iroegbunam (Aston Villa) and offensive players Lindström (Naples) and Broja (Chelsea).
