Everton will entertain Leicester City at Goodison Park on Saturday evening as both sides look to go all out in search of the three points in this Premier League match. The Toffees were held to a scoreless draw by Fulham recently. In contrast, the Foxes suffered a hard-fought 1-0 defeat against Manchester City.
Everton Vs Leicester City: Talking Tactics
Frank Lampard will opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation and will ask his players to win the 50-50 battles and engineer some decent chances to win this game.
Brendan Rodgers will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and could instruct his men to keep a solid shape at the back and try to expose Everton’s defensive weaknesses on the counter.

Andros Townsend (knee), Ben Godfrey (leg) and Yerry Mina (calf) will be sidelined for this game. Otherwise, Lampard has no fresh injury concerns to cope with this weekend.

Ward, Castagne, Faes, Amartey, Justin, Tielemans, Soumare, Dewsbury-Hall, Maddison, Vardy, Barnes
Key Men
Everton
Jordan Pickford has been enjoying a rich vein of form of late and will be expected to make some solid saves in the game to keep the Leicester attackers frustrated.
The defensive performance of Conor Coady and James Tarkowski could go a long way in determining the fate of this contest. At the other end, Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be given the responsibility to carry most of Everton’s goal-scoring workload on his own up top.
Leicester City
Danny Ward will need to be at the top of his game if Leicester are to have any chance of earning a clean sheet this Saturday. James Maddison will be Rodgers’ chief playmaker in the Everton half.
Jamie Vardy has to figure out a way to cause a few headaches for the opposition defenders during the 90 minutes.
