Two sides desperate for a Premier League victory do battle on Saturday as Leicester host Everton.

The Foxes are currently in 15th, while Sean Dyche's Everton are rock bottom of the table in 20th.

Match Preview

Leicester Recent Form

Leicester have found things tough since being promoted back into the top flight as they have lost two (versus Fulham and Aston Villa) and drawn two (versus Tottenham and Crystal Palace) from their four games.

Their solitary victory this campaign came in the League Cup when they dispatched of Tranmere 4-0.

Leicester Injury News

Odsonne Edouard is yet to make his debut for Leicester as he was unable to play against his parent club Crystal Palace last time out, so we could see him in Foxes blue for the first time. It's likely Jamie Vardy will lead the line from the start, though.

Patson Daka and Jakub Stolarczyk are injured.

Last Leicester Lineup

Here's how Leicester lined up against Palace.

Everton Recent Form

Everton have had what can only be described as a nightmare start to the season.

They have lost every Premier League game so far versus Brighton, Tottenham, Bournemouth and Aston Villa, conceding 13 goals.

The manner of the defeats has been worrying, as they have twice surrendered two-goal leads only to lose 3-2 against Bournemouth and then Villa last weekend.

During the week, they were knocked out of the League Cup on penalties by Southampton.

Everton Injury News

The injury situation at Everton doesn't make things look less bleak as Vitaliy Mykolenko, Seamus Coleman, Nathan Patterson, Jarrad Branthwaite, Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti are all either confirmed as absent or major doubts.

Mykolenko and Coleman have the best chance of making it.

Last Everton Lineup

Here's how Everton lined up against Southampton.

Everton - Player To Watch

If Everton are to avoid relegation this season, they will need Dominic Calvert-Lewin to keep fit for the majority of the campaign. He's already scored two goals in 2024/25.
