Leicester City are looking to secure their first league win of the season on Saturday when they host Everton.
It’s been a difficult start for Steve Cooper’s side, who have picked up just two points from their opening four games.
Everton on the other hand are still searching for their first Premier League points of the season, having lost every game so far.

Leicester City team news
Patson Daka and Jakub Stolaraczyk are the only two definite absentees for Cooper this weekend. Both are still nursing long-term injuries.
Odsonne Edouard could make his debut for the Foxes after missing out on last week’s draw with Crystal Palace due to being ineligible to face his parent club.
Facundo Buonanotte may also be restored to the starting line-up. Cooper revealed after the Palace draw that the 19-year-old wasn’t fit enough to start after having a scan midweek, but was optimistic he’d be able to feature on Saturday.
Everton team news
Sean Dyche could be boosted by the return of up to four players for this weekend’s trip to the East Midlands.
Vitaliy Mykolenko, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and James Garner are all available for selection while there is also a hope that James Tarkowski should be fit enough to play.
Jarrad Branthwaite and Nathan Patterson are almost certainly out of action. Seamus Coleman is also doubtful after missing the Toffees’ last two games.
Deadline day signing and Leicester summer target Armando Broja is definitely out with a foot injury. Youssef Chermiti is also out injured.
Leicester City vs Everton predictions
Draws have been a common theme between the two teams, with three of the last five results ending in a stalemate.
A win for both teams would kick-start their Premier League campaign and with both teams likely to be near the bottom of the table, it could be an early relegation six-pointer.

Everton have struggled at the back and the likely absence of Branthwaite won’t help their troubles.
Whoever scores the first goal is very likely to go on and get the win and it feels like a 2-1 victory for the Foxes is the most plausible.
