FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Leicester City at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Foxes will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

Leicester CityDrawn last 2 games at home.

Unbeaten run of 4 matches.
EvertonNot won in previous 6 away matches.
