Leicester had a disastrous end of the 2022/23 season, which eventually cost them the Premier League. However, after the relegation, the Foxes managed to return to the English top-flight division instantly. Pretty much from the start of the last season, they looked like the best team in the Championship and eventually won the title. Over the Summer, they improved the team, but it will be interesting to see whether they can stay up this season. The season did not start on the right foot, as the Foxes won just two points in the first four matches. Right now, the bookies see them as the second favorite for relegation, only behind Southampton.
Everton had a difficult last three seasons, finishing between 15th and 17th place and winning between 36 and 40 points. Luckily, they managed to survive, but this season isn't looking promising. The Toffees were last time relegated in 1950/51, and many football pundits suggest this could be the year when Everton will get relegated again. Considering they lost all four games with an incredible 13 conceded goals, those claims seem spot on. Last year, the Toffees were one of the best defensive teams, with only Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool allowing fewer goals. But this year, something is very off with their defense.
Leicester vs Everton pick: Both teams to score
So far, Leicester has been superb for this type of bet, as all four Premier League games finished with both teams scoring. So far, they have managed to score against good teams like Tottenham, Fulham, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace, so there is no reason to doubt they can score against out-of-form Everton.
Everton started the season terribly, with a 0:7 goal difference in the first two matches against Brighton and Tottenham. Even though they pretty much continued with poor results, they at least started scoring regularly. The Toffees scored in all four following games in all competitions while scoring two per game in the Premier League games. So, we believe they can score against Leicester, which are still without a clean sheet in the Premier League.
Considering that neither team were impressive defensively and considering all the above, we believe that both teams to score is the best option for this Premier League tie.

Leicester team news
Patson Daka and Jakub Stolarczyk should remain sidelined with their injuries. At the same time, Odsonne Edouard, the loanee from Crystal Palace, should be ready for the upcoming game after missing the previous two. However, we expect him only for limited minutes, considering he still hasn't debuted for the Foxes.
After a 2:2 draw against Crystal Palace, coach Steve Cooper spoke to the media. He said they showed a lot of good things but also said they need to better manage those moments when they are up 2:0. The coach also said that this is a valuable point away from home, but it felt like a loss after considering a goal in the stoppage time.

Everton team news
After a Carabao Cup loss (on penalties) against Southampton, coach Sean Dyche spoke to the media. He said they created enough to win the game but haven't been clinical. "I thought the team played well, we created chances, and we looked mostly solid defensively. Some young players did very well so there's positives out of that," the coach added.
James Tarkowski, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and James Garner missed the previous Carabao Cup game due to an illness but will most likely recover on time. Meanwhile, Vitalii Mykolenko, Armando Broja, Jarrad Branthwaite, Youssef Ramalho Chermiti, and Nathan Patterson should remain sidelined, while Seamus Coleman is close to returning to the field.
