Leicester City have picked up just two points from their opening four Premier League games.
Steve Cooper’s side picked up a point away at Crystal Palace last time out, though, it would’ve felt like a defeat having thrown away a two-goal lead.
Leicester were also on the end of a VAR controversy, as Jean-Philippe Mateta’s first goal looked offside on replays.
The Foxes got in touch with the Premier League and held a meeting about the incident, claiming VAR made an error in the timing of when they froze the kickpoint to draw the lines.
Anyhow, Leicester have the chance to right those wrongs on Saturday when they play host to fellow strugglers Everton at the King Power Stadium.
With that said, Paul Merson has just issued his prediction ahead of the clash.
Paul Merson gives Leicester City vs Everton prediction
Writing in his Sportskeeda prediction column, Paul Merson gave a pretty bullish prediction.
“The defeat against Villa won’t define Everton’s season. But if they end up losing to Leicester, like they did against Bournemouth, that’s a huge problem,” the former Arsenal midfielder said.
“A draw in football means nothing. Everton have to win this game. They have a few winnable fixtures coming up after this, so it’s crucial to set the right tone.
“Everton are also probably the only team in the bottom half of the table with an X-factor in them. No matter how much they struggle, they are always capable of pulling off an incredible result out of nowhere.”
Merson continued: “I just don’t think Leicester will be able to prevent Everton from securing a win here.
“There’s no two ways about it in my opinion, only one winner in this clash.”
Merson predicted a 2-1 away win for the visitors.
Steve Cooper needs to change the system
Cooper has been persisting with a system which only allows one of Stephy Mavididi or Abdul Fatawu to start.
That needs to change on Saturday if the hosts are to pick up their first victory of the season in what could turn out to be a relegation six-pointer.
The aforementioned pair must start from the off with Facundo Buonanotte or Bilal El Khannouss playing in the 10 role.
