The new Premier League champions return to home soil for their coronation as Everton pay a visit. The Foxes are unbeaten in 10 match-ups but might lack a psychological edge following their title triumph, while the Toffees snapped a seven-match winless streak with a victory over Bournemouth last Gameweek.

Leicester’s attack has excelled across their previous four outings, recording nine goals and two more big chances (12) than any other team. Furthermore, only two clubs (Manchester City and Southampton) boast a superior shot-conversion rate (13.1%) in home clashes than the Foxes. Although Claudio Ranieri’s squad have conceded just three goals in four fixtures, the fact they’ve allowed the sixth-most shots inside the box (35) offers some hope to the visitors.

The Toffees are in desperate need of an attacking spark, given that they placed joint-fourth-bottom for goals (three), bottom for attempts (31), bottom for shots inside the box (14) and joint-second-bottom for big chances (two) across their previous quartet of encounters. It’s worth noting, however, that Everton chart joint-third for big chances (39) and joint-fourth-bottom for goals conceded in road ties (19), illuminating their decent away form.

  11. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Robles should get penalty save points for giving him the eyes

  12. The Algerian Dream
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Does that count as Robles PK save??

    1. Keno
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nope unfortunately

    6. Eskimooo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

    Why the f*** was Robles celebrating 😆

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Because Vardy acted like a c*** after the first pen.

      1. Eskimooo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Vardy is and always has been a bit of a c*** as a person

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy made a gesture at him when he scored first pen

  14. FudgyBadger
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

      1. FudgyBadger
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 10 Years

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

  17. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

  20. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Got off lucky with one rival having Mahrez. The other is doing okay with Morgan though! Hope Lukaku nicks one. Don't care if it goes in off his ar$e....

    Martinez must get sacked, so bad

    • 10 Years

    Looking forward to see PVA destroying Oviedo.

      • 10 Years

    1. Yankee Toffee
      • 10 Years

  23. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    That was the 4th penalty Leicester had against Everton this season

  24. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Did he miss the target or did Robles save it?

    1. DLL18
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Missed by a mile.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Robles made him miss by shouting at him so I think it counts as a save

    3. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Almost hit the moon

    4. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
