Everton Preview – Can Everton move into top five?
All three points against Wednesday night’s visitors, Leicester City, could well see Everton jump into the top five of the Premier League and having won five of their last six matches overall in the top flight, The Toffees look a decent bet here.
Recent wins against Chelsea, Leicester City (away), Arsenal, Sheffield United and Wolves have maintained Everton’s bid for possible European contention next season but although they’re at home for this upcoming clash against Leicester City, this could be a tough test for Ancelotti’s men.
Just two wins out of their last six matches at Goodison Park deters me from backing the hosts for a straight win here but goals have featured at home so far this term with five of Everton’s eight home matches resulting in over 2.5 goals at decent odds.
Leicester City Preview – Can Foxes win four on trot?
Leicester City will also be in confident mood ahead of this clash up on merseyside against Everton as The Foxes have collected three wins on the trot in the Premier League with victories gained over Newcastle United, Southampton and Chelsea respectively.
Leicester are now unbeaten in their last six matches overall in the top flight and this sustained run of form has helped Leicester keep hold of 3rd place but all three points against their hosts on Wednesday night could see them move level on points with league leaders, Manchester City.
The Foxes have certainly been impressive away from home as they boast an excellent away record of 7-1-1 20/9 but they too face stiff competition from a much more solid and consistent Everton outfit under Ancelotti. Instead, the goals market beckons as six of Leicester’s nine away matches have also resulted in over 2.5 goals.
