Everton’s home form has been key to its EPL survival bid but the Toffees can pick up only a 2nd league road win of the season at Leicester on Sunday. They remain in the bottom 3, but cut the gap to Leeds and Burnley to just 2 points with a well-deserved 1-0 win at home to Chelsea last Sunday. Everton played with much more desire than Chelsea and, despite being restricted to just 22% possession, carved out the better chances. Defender Yerry Mina excelled on his return from injury, while goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made some excellent second-half saves. Dominic Calvert-Lewin was an unused substitute, but Everton is getting key players fit at a crucial stage of the season and could be facing Leicester at just the right time.

The Foxes are 11th in the Premier League and spirits could be low after Thursday’s Europa Conference League semifinal loss to Roma. They have not had long to recover from that, and have taken just 2 points from their last 4 EPL games.

埃弗顿的主场表现一直是其英超生存的关键，但太妃糖周日只能在莱斯特拿到本赛季第二场联赛客场胜利。他们仍然在倒数三名，但在上周日主场1-0战胜切尔西后，与利兹和伯恩利的差距缩小至2分。埃弗顿踢得比切尔西更有欲望，尽管控球率只有22%，但埃弗顿创造了更好的机会。后卫耶里·米娜在伤愈复出后表现出色，而守门员乔丹·皮克福德在下半场做出了一些出色的扑救。多米尼克·卡尔弗特-卢因是一名未上场的替补，但埃弗顿正在赛季的关键阶段招募关键球员，可能会在合适的时间迎战莱斯特。

狐狸队在英超联赛中排名第11位，在周四欧罗巴联赛半决赛输给罗马后，他们的士气可能会很低落。他们没多久就恢复过来了，在过去的4场英超比赛中只拿了2分。
