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.

    Question: who will be next season's Mahrez? Cheap mid who will finish in the best XI of FPL?

      Ritchie

      1. Jay Jay Okocha
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Right team, wrong man. Gradel is my pick

    2. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      The return of George Boyd.

    3. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years

      They don't play in the premier yet

      Just got home and was excited to check how my triple west ham went (cresswell, lanzini and payet). 8 points including TC. What happened ? 1-4 ?

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

        its an error. scoreline was 4-1 to west ham

        1. drughi
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          West ham fighting for cl spot, home to a bum swansea team. Makes no sense

            West Ham shocking result, next game is last at their stadium and United will defo be feeling confident they can get the result they want. Today was perfect LVG, single goal, possession, clean sheet.

            I must thank the person who gave me a tip about United which pushed me to commit to triple United, might and i say that very tenatively, be perfect to have against West Ham and then Bournemouth on the final day.

    • FudgyBadger

      Everton looking very very likely to score. Great news for some!

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

        Very very likely? Lol.

    • Danstoke82

      Please Everton do something! I can't bear a Fuchs CS + BAP

    • Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Hope Amartey comes on for Simpson and locks that CS in nice and early

      • The Algerian Dream
        • 10 Years

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

        If he scored that I would've cried.

      • siweltrebor87
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        United to steal fourth from City would make up for not winning the mini league if i do happen to throw it away

      • Duke Silver ☑
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Mahrez the Algerian Messi with the nutmeg.

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

        Fuchs on 3 BAPS. Please score Everton.

        1. VS10_
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

      • Aston-villain
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Looks like the TC stumped old Ville Ronke too...

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

          it stumped everyone it seems

          1. Aston-villain
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I'm on Defoe this week. Not claiming any success as everything else is going badly and I missed plenty of good weeks to use TC.

        2. Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Still another game to be played...

          1. Aston-villain
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            I'm doubt even he wud keep it on payet after today, altho I suppose u are right that there is some hope left.

      • FudgyBadger
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        40 points (-8) so far 🙁 its the stuff of nightmares but im praying the midweek games can rectify the torture ! 🙁

        1. Eden Azzzar
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Try 21 -8

        That Fuchs miss was disappointing.

        Someone put Cresswell as triple captain

      • Danno - Emre Canada
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Are the Toffees ever going to score?

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

          No

          1. siweltrebor87
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Everton are finished and Lukaku and Stones will be gone in the summer, bet Baines and Coleman wished they had gone sooner as well.

        2. Mr Sarcastic
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Robles almost!!!!

          1. Danno - Emre Canada
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Why oh why do I have Lukaku?

      • Mr Sarcastic
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        After lot of hesitation and finally did Simpson-> Creswell (-4, it's a real joy to watch this game.

        One week for freedom !!!!!!!

        • VS10_
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Vardy pen, no assist if he takes it.

          Save Robles, please.

        • Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          No assist either 🙄

          9 years, 7 months ago

          Again getting a ton of clean sheets but no offensive points. Guess it's okay if my overall score is good though
