Leicester v Everton
15:00
10-man Leicester came back from 2-0 down to secure a draw last weekend in a pulsating match at Stoke, but they will be without Jamie Vardy, Robert Huth and Christian Fuchs when they host Everton on Boxing Day. The Toffees held off Liverpool for 93 minutes at Goodison Park when they met on ‘Mersey Monday’, but ultimately went down to a Mane goal, and they will now seek to put in the sort of performance that allowed them to beat Arsenal two weeks ago.
Everton’s chief problem at the moment seems to be consistency. They have gone W2-D2-L4 over their last eight league matches, and they have lost six of their last seven away games in the league (the one glimmer of hope coming from a draw with Man City in mid-October). Prior to their win against an incredibly lacklustre Man City, the Foxes had lost against West Brom and only managed a point against Boro at the King Power and so we’re certainly convinced by the champions at the moment.
This could be a low-octane encounter given that Everton have struggled on the road and Leicester are missing key players. Leicester could be seriously hampered without the three missing players, so we’ll take Everton on the Draw-No Bet at the prices.
