Leicester City vs Everton
The rain is not dampenening the spirits of the away fans! Despite the doom and gloom surrounding Everton's start to the season, the Toffees were in a similar position at this stage in 2023.. Dyche's side failed to win any of their first five Premier League games in 2022-23 (D3 L2) and 2023-24 (D1 L4) and still avoided relegation at the end of the campaign.

RESTART DELAYED! The adverese weather here in Leicester means the start of second half is delayed...

Everton deservedly head in at the break with the lead at Leicester via the superb Ndiaye's early goal. The Toffees have managed 10 first half shots to Leicester's four and if they can maintain that after the restart, Dyche will be confident of a first Premier League win of the season. The Toffees racked up a first half xG of 0.75 to Leicester 0.15 but memories of recent slips will be on the minds of the travelling Evertonians.

Dyche will be delighted with what he has seen so far here in Leicester as Everton have attempted 4 shots on target in this match, more than their season average of 3 in the Premier League. Ndiaye's stepover almost gets him away from Kristiansen but Justin makes the block on the six-yard line.
