The Premier League returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Everton lock horns with Brendan Rodgers' Leicester City outfit at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Everton vs Leicester City Preview
Leicester City are currently in 18th place in the Premier League standings and have largely failed to meet expectations so far this season. The Foxes suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Manchester City in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Everton, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table at the moment and have improved after a slow start to their campaign. The Merseyside outfit played out a 0-0 draw against Fulham last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Everton vs Leicester City Prediction
Leicester City have shown flashes of their ability over the past month but face an uphill battle to rejuvenate their Premier League campaign. James Maddison has been a bright spot for Brendan Rodgers' side and will need to step up this weekend.
