Leicester vs Everton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 28/04/2023, 18:00  by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions

If ever there was a relegation six-pointer then this is it. 19th placed Everton travel to Leicester City who are a place and a point above them. At the start of the weekend, Leicester were a point from safety and will be hoping for poor results from 17th placed Nottingham Forest and Leeds United (who are 16th) before this match is played on May 1. The home side have started to improve their form with four points from their last two games. They had to come from behind to beat Wolves at home last weekend and again fell behind at Leeds before getting a late equalizer. That's a massive improvement after a disastrous run of just one point from ten Premier League fixtures. Three of their last five games are on home soil with Liverpool and West Ham yet to visit the King Power Stadium. With away games against Fulham and Newcastle United, this really is a game that Leicester just have to win.

The same applies to the visitors who are again facing relegation to the Championship. Unlike their opponents, the Toffees are not picking up many points at present. They come into this game having earned three points from their last six league fixtures. Their last win was a 1-0 home success over Brentford in early March. That's the only win they have had in their last ten Premier League games and unless something changes then they are on their way to being relegated. Last weekend saw them get a goalless draw at Crystal Palace but that made it 12 away league games without a win. Back Leicester to get a win in this game.
