Paul Merson Shares His Prediction for Leicester City vs. Everton

Leicester Aiming to Continue Unbeaten Start

After a disappointing 0-2 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend, Leicester City will be looking to bounce back when they host Everton at the King Power Stadium on Saturday. The Foxes have made an impressive start to the season, winning three of their opening four matches. They will be confident of extending their unbeaten run against an Everton side who have struggled for form in recent weeks.

Everton in Need of a Positive Result

Everton have endured a difficult start to the season, losing three of their opening four matches. The Toffees were beaten 0-1 by Newcastle United last weekend and will be hoping to avoid a third consecutive defeat on Saturday. Manager Frank Lampard is under pressure to turn things around at Goodison Park, and he will be looking for his players to produce a much-improved performance against Leicester.

Merson Backs Leicester to Claim the Victory

Former Arsenal and England midfielder Paul Merson has backed Leicester City to beat Everton this weekend. In his column for Sportskeeda, Merson said: "I think Leicester will win this game. They've started the season well, and they'll be confident of beating an Everton side who are struggling for form." Merson believes that Leicester's attacking players will be too strong for Everton's defense and has predicted a 2-0 win for the Foxes.

Key Battle: Maddison vs. Iwobi

One of the key battles to watch on Saturday will be the clash between Leicester's James Maddison and Everton's Alex Iwobi. Maddison has been in excellent form for the Foxes this season, scoring two goals and providing two assists in four appearances. Iwobi has also been impressive for Everton, scoring one goal and providing one assist in four appearances. Both players will be looking to create chances for their team-mates and could have a big say in the outcome of the match.

Conclusion

Leicester City will be confident of beating Everton when the two sides meet at the King Power Stadium on Saturday. The Foxes have made an impressive start to the season and will be looking to continue their unbeaten run. Everton, on the other hand, are in need of a positive result after a poor start to the season. Manager Frank Lampard is under pressure to turn things around, and he will be looking for his players to produce a much-improved performance against Leicester.
