Opta Stats: Everton v Leicester

By
Everton can move within three points of Leicester if they beat them on Wednesday night. Opta rates their chances.
Everton have only failed to score in two of their last 15 Premier League games against Leicester City. Over 2.5 goals is 2.32.
The Toffees have won two of their last three Premier League meetings with the Foxes, as many as in their previous 15 combined. Everton are 3.15 to win.
Everton are winless in their last six Premier League matches (D3 L3), after winning four of the five prior to that (D1). The draw is 3.20.
The Foxes have kept clean sheets in all three of their Premier League games in 2018 so far - there have only been eight previous occasions of a club keeping a clean sheet in their first four games of a calendar year in the competition, most recently by Manchester City in 2013. Leicester are 2.90 to keep a clean sheet.
Leicester won their previous Premier League match on a Wednesday 4-1 vs Southampton in December - they had only netted four goals across their previous 11 Wednesday top-flight matches. The Foxes are 2.66 to win.
In 10 Premier League games under Sam Allardyce, Everton have averaged an xG total of 0.88 per game. Before he came in, the Toffees were averaging chances worth 1.10 per game. Under 2.5 goals is 1.73.
Indeed, under Allardyce Everton have had fewer attempts on target than any other Premier League side (25). Under 1.5 goals is 3.20.
Jamie Vardy has scored three goals in his last three Premier League appearances against Everton. The England forward has scored three and assisted two more in his five league games against the Toffees overall. Vardy is 2.70 to score.
Wayne Rooney failed to score in his five Premier League games against Leicester for Man Utd but has netted in two of his three for Everton. Rooney is 4.00 to find the net.
Riyad Mahrez's goal against Watford took him to 59 Premier League goals or assists for Leicester (35 goals, 24 assists) - only Jamie Vardy (72) has been involved in more for the Foxes in the competition (Muzzy Izzet also 59). Mahrez is 4.50 to score.

Tottenham’s Dele Alli eyes Premier League debut at Manchester United

By
It was quite the opening statement. Dele Alli, 24 minutes into his first start in a Tottenham Hotspur shirt, suckered in Luka Modric of Real Madrid, nutmegged him and accelerated away. The 70,000 sell-out crowd at Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena roared at the 19-year-old’s sheer impudence. "We had a laugh about it in the tunnel afterwards; he was very good about it,” Alli said. "He shook my hand and said to me: ‘You little bugger’ – or something like that. I didn’t shout ‘nuts’ when I did it. I used to do that when I was young and get told off for it." As Alli spoke at the Allianz after Tuesday’s 2-0 Audi Cup victory, some of Real’s galácticos filed past. This time last year the midfielder was preparing for MK Dons’ League One season opener against Gillingham. His previous competitive game was for MK against Yeovil in May. Alli says “unreal” and “surreal” on a number of occasions and it is little wonder. This is a young player of conviction. If the nutmeg on one of...
