Everton vs Leicester prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – February 1, 2025
One of the matches of the 24th round of the English Premier League will take place on Saturday at Goodison Park, where Everton will host Leicester. We suggest a bet on goals in this clash with good chances of winning.
Match Preview
The Toffees have found their form, winning two consecutive matches: first, they snatched a tense victory over Tottenham (3-2), and then secured a minimal away win over Brighton (1-0). Before that, the team had failed to win for six consecutive Premier League matches (3 draws and 3 losses), but now their morale has clearly improved.
David Moyes' side is still in 16th place, but they have pulled seven points clear of the relegation zone. The progress in their game is evident, as Everton has not won two league matches in a row since April 2024. In 11 home matches, the Toffees have secured three wins and suffered four losses.
In the previous round, Leicester secured their long-awaited fourth victory of the current Premier League season, beating Tottenham 2-1 away. This win was not only an important step but also relieved the team from a seven-match winless streak in the league.
It is worth noting that Leicester scored more than one goal in a match for the first time since December 8. Despite this success, Leicester is just one point clear of the relegation zone, primarily due to their extremely weak defensive play. This season, Leicester has been among the worst in defense, conceding more than two goals per game on average.

- Everton: Jordan Pickford – Vitaliy Mykolenko, Jake O'Briain, James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite – Idrissa Gueye, Aurélien Mangala – Abdoulaye Doucouré, Iliman Ndiaye, Jesper Lindstrøm – Dominic Calvert-Lewin
