The form and class of both teams is questionable to say the least, both have struggled all season, both have changed managers, but nothing seems to help.

Both are in the relegation zone, and looking at the underlying performance stats neither truly belongs there as there are about 6 teams with more or less equal points with Everton, but it is the results that count and bad results often lead a negative spin and more bad results.

Leicester have 1 win in their last 7 games:

Everton have as well 1 win in the last 7, but the opponents in general have been a bit classier.

There are bad injuries at Leicester at key player front as Kelechi Iheanacho, Jonny Evans, Ricardo Pereira, Jannik Vestergaard and James Justin are out. Ryan Bertrand is returning, hardly in full fitness.

Everton on the other hand get Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Seamus Coleman back, but obviously the match fitness is a worry. Yet, Coleman brings the experience Everton badly needs and is a key figure here.

I do not rate neither of the new coaches too highly. Smith at Leicester have very little good experience in keeping his team up in relegation battle and for Leicester as a whole it is a rather unknown concept. It is totally different thing for the Everton coach Dyche who miraculously kept the poor Burnley side up in the EPL for several seasons, and he knows how to handle pressure and how not to lose the most important games like this one. Under Dyche Everton have also collected at least a point in all five games against bottom-half-of-the-table opponents and he will have his troops fired up and well-organised. A point is not much here for either club, but neither is prepared to lose. What Leicester can not afford is to concede the first goal, that would be 100 % Dyche's playground!

至少可以说，这两支球队的状态和水平都值得怀疑，他们整个赛季都在挣扎，都换了主帅，但似乎没有任何帮助。

两支球队都在降级区，从潜在的表现数据来看，这两支球队都不属于降级区，因为大约有6支球队与埃弗顿的积分差不多，但结果才是最重要的，糟糕的结果往往会导致负面的影响和更多的糟糕结果。

莱斯特城在最近7场比赛中取得1胜。

埃弗顿在过去的7场比赛中也取得了1场胜利，但总的来说，对手的水平要高一些。

莱斯特城的主力球员前场受伤严重，伊哈纳乔、埃文斯、佩雷拉、韦斯特加德和贾斯汀缺阵。瑞安·伯特兰回归了，但几乎没有完全康复。

另一方面，埃弗顿得到了多米尼克·卡尔弗特-列文和谢默斯·科尔曼，但显然比赛状态是一个令人担忧的问题。然而，科尔曼带来了埃弗顿急需的经验，是这里的关键人物。

我对这两位新教练的评价都不高。莱斯特城的史密斯在保级战中几乎没有什么好的经验，对莱斯特城来说，这是一个相当未知的概念。对于埃弗顿主帅戴奇来说，这是完全不同的事情，他奇迹般地让可怜的伯恩利在英超呆了好几个赛季，他知道如何处理压力，如何不输掉像这场这样重要的比赛。在戴奇的带领下，埃弗顿在五场对阵积分榜后半的对手的比赛中都至少拿到了一分，他将带领他的球队充满激情，组织得很好。
