Everton vs Leicester 20.04.2022

Everton’s quest for survival faces another hurdle in this home league tie against the Foxes. Their impressive 1-0 win over Man United last time out came after 3 straight losses against Palace, West Ham and Burnley. With 3 points above the red zone, Frank Lampard’s men know they are not out of the woods yet. Hence, they will be hoping to pick every available point as we approach the tail end of the campaign.

For Leicester City, a push for a place in Europe next season is still on the cards. While the Champions League seem unrealistic at the moment, the Europa League is still very possible for Rodgers’ men. Although, a Conference League triumph is a ticket to Europe next season. Given the quality of their next opponent, in this case, Roma, Leicester know that putting all their hopes on that competition could be dangerous. Therefore, they will want to sort things out through the League as early as possible.

Based on what is at stake here, this is certainly a huge game. We are anticipating that Everton’s hunger for safety will be a strong factor in pushing them towards scoring the first goal in this tie.
