Leicester City have found their footing after a shaky spell and when they host Everton on Match Day 13, this clash at King Power Stadium will be among the top clashes of the round. Leicester are currently third in the standings with 24 points and Everton have 20 points, in seventh place. Leicester beat Brighton 3-0 in their weekend game, with all goals coming in the first half. That win handed the Foxes their second straight clean sheet, having registered one in the Europa League in midweek and they have now scored two or more goals in their last three matches. Having earlier failed to win in four straight matches, they will get the needed confidence heading to the Everton clash and the attacking department has also worked well, with the team scoring in four of the last five matches. The Foxes are proving to be a lethal team in the first half of their matches; in the last three games, they have scored seven goals, all have come in the first half. They will be glad to be playing at home, which has been rewarding in recent times, with the team having won four of the last five matches played at home. Four of the last five home matches have produced clean sheets and the team has scored two or more goals in three of them. In the last five league matches, Leicester have won three; this is where the most improvement is needed and having lost three of their last five at home, they’ll know this is a crucial game. Their last four league matches have produced over 2.5 goals and both Leicester and Everton have scored in five of the last six meetings. Five of the last six meetings between these two sides have also produced over 2.5 goals.

On their part, Everton head to this game on a high, having ended a two-game winless streak with a 1-0 win over Chelsea. That win presented their first clean sheet in the league since their opening day win at Tottenham Hotspur and they won’t mind a third one in Leicester, especially if it comes with a haul of three points. Everton have two wins in their last eight matches and have not been scoring a lot lately, despite having the top scorer in the league after 12 rounds. They have scored six goals in the last six matches and in the run, they have managed more than one goal in just one of the matches. The team has however conceded more than one goal in four of their last seven matches and in the last six away games, they have three wins and two losses. Three of their five away matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they have no clean sheet in their last five away matches. The Toffees have failed to score in just one of their last five away matches and head to Leicester with a long list of absentees that includes James Rodriguez, Lucas Digne and Fabian Delph.
