Here's our Everton vs Leicester Prediction analysis: The race for top-four in the English Premier League is set to go right down to the wire. With no less than six clubs in the running for a Champions League place finish, we are in for a thrilling end to the campaign. I say we take a seat, grab our popcorns and watch as everything unfolds. Having started the season brilliantly, treating their supporters to some scintillating piece of play, Leicester City quickly rose to second-place on the standings. Lurking behind table-toppers Liverpool for large parts of the campaign, the Foxes failed the usurp Klopp’s charges to the league summit.

However, they seemed content with their place right behind the European champions, grinding our positive results on a regular to retain that position. Unfortunately, things have gone south for Leicester since the league restart.

Not only have they relinquished second-spot to Manchester City, they are now in danger of falling off the Champions League places altogether. With a mere three points safety buffer in the top-four places, they will be looking to sweep Everton aside on Tuesday evening to steer clear of the chasing pack.

Even with Carlo Ancelotti at the reins, Everton have failed to get their faltering campaign on the right track. Traditionally tagged a top-six side, the Toffees have since lost this status and are now bottom-half regulars. Surely, significant improvements need to be made at this club sooner rather than later.

Looking to break into the top-half of the standings, Everton made a trip to Carrow Road to take on basement club Norwich City with every intent of snatching all three points. Tagged favorites for the win, the onus was on the Toffees to live up to expectations.

Desperate for points, Everton had their weak opposition pegged in their own half for large parts of the game. For all their pressure, the Toffees failed to find a route past the opposition defense. However, Keane turned savior for Ancelotti as he headed the ball home in the 55^th minute to seal the win.

Brendan Rodgers has come under fire in recent weeks for failing to bring order to his derailing side. The Foxes are gradually falling off the pace and are in grave danger of exiting the highly-coveted top-four zone. They cannot afford dropping further down the standings.

In a bid to gain some much-needed momentum, Leicester City were out to get direct top-four contenders Chelsea but failed in their tracks to salvage a positive result. The Blues completely outclassed Ancelotti’s charges, condemning them to a narrow 1-0 defeat.

For this fixture, we cannot confidently pick out a particular side for an outright win. Even though Leicester are better placed on the log, their recent performances have left question marks about their overall competence.

Having turned heads earlier in the season, the Foxes have dropped the ball a bit towards these closing phases of the campaign. With only three points separating them from fifth-placed Wolves, they will be desperate to clinch all three points here.

Meanwhile, Everton have been largely inconsistent this season and are working their asses off to climb up the standings. Noteworthily, they are only four points shy of the final European spot and are very much in the picture for continental qualification.

As mentioned earlier, both sides are in dire need of points for their respective season ambitions. They will likely throw caution to the wind here, in search of that much-needed three points. From previous h2h encounters between these sides, we have witnessed goals down both ends of the pitch.

As such, count on both sides to get on the scoresheet. Also, a double chance backing Leicester City for the win seems the safest punt.
