Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Buoyed by back-to-back wins over Tottenham and Brighton, Everton will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Leicester City in the Premier League round 24. The Toffees have been producing fine displays ever since new boss David Moyes took over the reins and, as a result, they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash. Midfielder Orel Mangala is a major doubt as well as striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, while Dwight McNeil remains in the treatment room.
The Foxes, on the other hand, did well to shock Tottenham in London at the weekend, but given Everton’s signs of improvement, we predict that Ruud van Nistelrooy’s troops are going to return home empty-handed this time out. Nigeria midfielder Wilfred Ndidi will be assessed ahead of the kick-off, while right-back Ricardo Pereira remains on the sidelines with injury.
Highlighted Player (Abdoulaye Doucouré):
French international midfielder Abdoulaye Doucour is a bundle of raw energy and a player who was voted Watford’s Player of the Season during the 2017/18 campaign. A deep-lying midfielder who takes part in play build-up from behind is a defensive asset who took time to blossom and announce himself at the international stage. He first burst to prominence at Ligue 1 side Rennes in 2012 after a year with the club’s B side and went on to play 75 league matches and score 12 goals.
Watford bought Doucoure in 2016 but sent him on loan to Granada, where he took part in 15 league matches. Determined to prove his worth in the Premier League, the Frenchman of Mali descent wasted no time in grabbing a starting spot under both Marco Silva and Javi Garcia, respectively, upon his return from Spain.
The total of 38 matches played along with 8 goals scored made Doucoure one of the most sought-after assets in the summer of 2018 but the player remained at Vicarage Road despite reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
