Everton hope their resurgence under David Moyes continues for the visit of struggling Leicester City to Goodison Park.
The Toffees have tasted successive victories over Tottenham and Brighton & Hove Albion to lift them seven points clear of the relegation zone with a game in hand and a promising home fixture against the Foxes could see them extend their winning run.
Everton are the second-lowest scorers in the Premier League this season but did produce three in the first half during their last home match against Spurs.
Tottenham proved fruitful opponents for Leicester last weekend, too. Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side came from behind thanks to quick-fire goals from Jamie Vardy and Bilal El Khannous and tasted their first victory in the league since early December during their trip to north London.
Here is 90min’s guide to an important lower table battle.

Everton didn’t come through their duel with Brighton unscathed, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Orel Mangala both suffering setbacks at the Amex Stadium.
Calvert-Lewin lasted just 13 minutes before being replace by Beto, while Mangala is expected to miss the remainder of the season according to reports – meaning he has potentially played his final game for the Toffees given he’s on loan from Lyon.
They add themselves to a growing injury list that already contains Armando Broja, Dwight McNeil and Youssef Chermiti in the forward line, while Seamus Coleman and Tim Iroegbunam are also missing for the Toffees – the latter is edging closer to a return, though.
