TWO in-form sides battle it out on Super Sunday when Everton host champions Leicester at Goodison Park.
Ronald Koeman will still be totally devastated and still questioning how his side never got all three points at Old Trafford in midweek, but that point means that they return home in good form after only two defeats in their last 11 matches and they will fancy their chances of extending that against the Foxes\’ at the weekend.
Since Craig Shakespeare took over from Claudio Ranieri at the King Power Leicester have started to look like champions again and arrive in Merseyside on the back of their best form of the season with six consecutive wins and their supporters will be out in force to snap up the 5.20 with several green listed bookmakers that they can make it a lucky seven winning run, but before you go steaming in, a word of caution. Leicester face a massive Champions League quarter-final next week against Atletico Madrid in the Spanish capital and that will be on the forefront of both the players and managers mind and changes are very much expected to the Leicester starting XI at Goodison Park.
The Champions League clash has tipped the scales towards the home side for me and with just one home loss all season I am siding with Everton to get the three points at the general 1.75.
Like most games this weekend, and for the remainder of the season this one promises a lot of goals and both teams to score punters will be out in force in the Premier League ticking the “yes” box and this looks one of the bankers on the coupon at 1.80 with Bet365.
Leicester have scored at least two goals in every match that Shakespeare has taken charge of and they can extend that impressive record in this one with another couple, but the bad news is that Everton will still get the points and at a huge 29.00 I like Everton to win this 3-2 with Ladbrokes again.
Romelu Lukaku ran the Man United defence ragged in midweek and the Premier League top goal scorer will see this match as a perfect opportunity to seal the Golden Boot and I like the giant striker to open the scoring at the general 4.00.
STAR: Both teams to score at Goodison Park at 4/5 with Bet365.
NEXT BEST: Romelu Lukaku to open the goal scoring at 3/1 with most bookies.
OUTSIDER: Everton to edge a classic 3-2 at 28/1 with Bet365.
