If Everton fails to secure an away win at Leicester, Sean Dyche might be dismissed this weekend. The team is experiencing its worst season start since 1958.
Here are our predictions for the September 21 clash at The King Power Stadium, where the Foxes are favored to win.
Leicester vs Everton prediction: Will there be plenty of goals at The King Power Stadium?
Key Stats
- Everton’s last five matches have had more than 2.5 goals in each game.
- In four of Leicester’s last five fixtures, both teams scored.
- Additionally, three of Everton’s last six games have featured goals from both teams.
Our score prediction: Leicester 2-2 Everton

Latest head-to-head encounters: Evenly matched
In the last five league meetings between these two clubs, each side has recorded three draws, one win, and one loss, resulting in an even split.
Leicester preview: Two losses and two draws
The Foxes started the season well with a 1-1 draw against Tottenham, but subsequent losses to Fulham and Aston Villa were followed by a 2-2 draw at Crystal Palace last weekend.
During the 2022/23 season, Leicester earned four points from their two league matches against the Toffees, with their game at The King Power Stadium finishing in a 2-2 draw.
Due to injuries, Jakub Stolarczyk, Patson Daka, and Odsonne Edouard are uncertain for the Everton match.
Predicted lineup: Hermansen (GK), Faes, Justin, Okoli, Kristiansen, Winks, Ndidi, Skipp, Ayew, Vardy & Mavididi
Everton preview: Defeated in their first four matches
The Toffees’ poor form persisted in their last match against Aston Villa, where Everton took a 2-0 lead for the second consecutive game only to lose 3-2.
Sean Dyche has earned his reputation for solid defensive strategies, and when his teams fail in that area, there needs to be more to excite the fans. A defeat this weekend could lead to even more Everton supporters demanding his dismissal.
Armando Broja and Youssef Ramalho Chermiti are unavailable for the trip to Leicester, but Nathan Patterson, Jarrad Branthwaite, Seamus Coleman, and Vitalii Mykolenko are optimistic that they will be fit and ready to play.
Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), Patterson, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Gueye, Mangala, Calvert-Lewin, Garner, McNeil & Ndiaye
