This Saturday, February 1, Ruud Van Nistelrooy’s side travel up North to Merseyside as they look to build upon their win last time out. Here is the Leicester City predicted lineup to take on David Moyers’ Everton.
Leicester City Predicted Lineup Vs Everton
How Leicester City Have Lined-up Recently
Last time out, the familiar 4-2-3-1 formation was utilised by the Foxes but with much more success compared to their recent performances.
Jakub Stolarczyk put on a Man of the Match performance, which was key in his side taking all three points. Wout Faes and Jannik Vestergaard made up a centre-back partnership, with Conor Coady joining them late on. Viktor Kristiansen and James Justin provided the width, as they have done all season, but new signing Woyo Coulibaly came on with a minute to go. Meanwhile, Harry Winks and Boubakary Soumaré made up a double pivot in front of the backline.

Jordan Ayew retained his position off the right, as Facundo Buonanotte was benched. On the opposite side, Bobby Decordova Reid made his third league start of the season and earned two assists. Then, in the centre, Bilal El Khannouss continued his impressive run of form with the match-winning goal. Leading the line as of late has been Jamie Vardy, who scored yet another goal against Spurs.
Leicester City’s Recent Form and Tactics
The poor form for the Foxes ended with a much-needed win against the out-of-form Spurs side. As a result of the victory, Leicester’s seven losses in a row in the league streak ended whilst simultaneously getting them out of the relegation zone. 17th is where the East-Midlands-based side sits coming into this weekend’s game, as Ipswich and Wolves both lost.
Leicester City Injuries to Consider
There are no new injuries for the Foxes this week as revealed in the Dutchman’s press conference. Hermansen has returned to training this week, whilst Wilfred Ndidi could be in full training next week. Ricardo Pereira rounds up the positive news as he is also progressing well.
