Everton 2/1 to beat Leicester in Wednesday’s Premier League clash

Competition: Premier League

Market: Everton to beat Leicester

Odds: 2/1 @ Bet365

The Premier League continues this week with more action that will surely bring goals and excitement as the world’s most competitive league returns. Every side will want to come back from FA Cup duty by winning their first game back, and with this in mind, Everton host Leicester on Wednesday.

Everton have been struggling massively in recent weeks and this has stunted their revival under Sam Allardyce. After 24 games they have won seven, drawn seven and lost 10 times, while they have scored 26 goals and conceded 39 times. In their last five they have drawn twice and lost three times, and the Toffees will be all too aware of how close the relegation zone is, with Everton just six points above Southampton in 18th-place.

Leicester have been in good form this season and they are looking to continue their rise up the table. After 24 games they have won nine, drawn seven and lost eight times, scoring 36 goals and conceding 32 times. In their last five they have managed to win twice, lose twice and draw once. The Foxes are currently on 34 points which means they are 12 clear of the relegation zone. Importantly, the Foxes are the best side outside of the top six which is impressive, but they are eight points behind Arsenal and 11 behind the European places which is an area they should be targetting as they continue to grow as a team.
