The Blues will face the Foxes in Matchday 24 of the Premier League

David Moyes will be looking for his second win back at Goodison Park as the returning Everton manager, as his side takes on Leicester City. Under Moyes, the Blues have managed to win two back-to-back games against Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton. Since returning to the club he left in 2013, David Moyes has overseen one defeat and two wins for the club, which has aided the Toffees league position substantially. Currently, they are 16th in the league table with 23 points on board in the Premier League. A win against the Foxes will take them to the 15th spot in the table.

On the other hand, Leicester City also have a lot of pressure as they are just above the relegation zone but their win against Spurs will surely release some pressure. The fans and management do trust Ruud van Nistelroy to make sure they donโ€™t get relegated and they will have to perform well in upcoming matches to move up in the points table. They have only one-point advantage against Wolves who are just below them in the 18th spot. This upcoming fixture will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Players to Watch

Idrissa Gueye (Everton)

Gueye possesses quick feet with the ability to shift the ball away from the opposition player while travelling at speed. He also has very good upper body strength and is able to shield possession from the opponent which allows him to search for a teammate or look to travel with the ball himself. Gueye is very happy to make progressive runs, he will often appear in the opposition penalty area.

This willingness to get forward helps him to drag defenders towards him creating space for his teammates to exploit. He is relatively very calm in possession and does not often make rash decisions. His ability to cover a lot of ground during the 90 minutes makes him a valuable player in the team. In 21 games, he has provided two assists till now.

Bilal El Khannouss (Leicester City)

El Khannouss is an all-rounder of a player capable of impacting the game from all over the pitch. The Moroccan oozes composure on the ball and has the ability to control games and take responsibility, leading the teamโ€™s attack and showcasing maturity.

He is the type of player who can win you a match in an instant with pure excellence. Playing deeper positions has given him more defensive responsibility and enabled him to blossom into a complete midfielder. The Moroccan will surely make things difficult for the home team. In 18 games he has scored twice and provided one assist.
