The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as Leicester City lock horns with Frank Lampard's struggling Everton outfit at Goodison Park on Wednesday.
Everton vs Leicester City Preview
Leicester City are currently in ninth place in the Premier League standings and have largely failed to meet expectations so far this season. The Foxes suffered a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United over the weekend and cannot afford another poor result in this fixture.
Everton, on the other hand, are in 17th place in the league table at the moment and have struggled to impose themselves this season. The Toffees did manage to stun Manchester United with a 1-0 victory in their previous league game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
