LEICESTER PREVIEW: THE WAIT GOES ON
Leicester were moments away from their first Premier League win since returning to the top flight, but a Jean-Philippe Mateta penalty at the death levelled matters after the Foxes had originally gone 2-0 up.
Steve Cooper's side have been the most impressive promoted outfit so far but they only have two points to show for their efforts, which arguably sells them short in terms of what they deserve.
EVERTON PREVIEW: DYCHE ON THE EDGE
Sean Dyche must really be feeling the pressure now after the Toffees threw away a two-goal lead last weekend for the second Premier League game in succession. On both occasions, Everton were pegged back and ultimately ended up losing 3-2.
It didn't get much better for them midweek as they were knocked out of the League Cup by Southampton on penalties, so Dyche badly needs a positive result here.
LEICESTER TEAM NEWS: EDOUARD BACK
Odsonne Edouard is available again after he was ineligible to play against his parent club last weekend, but given Jamie Vardy's form, the veteran striker could retain his place in Steve Cooper's starting line-up.
Goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk and forward Patson Daka are the only players absent through injury at the moment.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen; Winks, Skipp; Ayew, Ndidi, Mavididi; Vardy
UNAVAILABLE: Stolarczyk (Injured), Daka (Injured)

LEICESTER VS EVERTON PREDICTION
Despite his admirable record in Premier League management, it feels as if Sean Dyche is on the brink of the sack with Everton currently last in the Premier League with four defeats from four. It's not only the defeats though, it's the manner of the recent capitulations against both Bournemouth and Aston Villa that were particularly alarming.
Leicester have looked like they belong at this level despite not really having the results to show for it just yet. Against an Everton side low on confidence though, the Foxes could be worth looking at in the draw no bet market.
LEICESTER VS EVERTON TIP: LEICESTER DRAW NO BET
