Dean Smith’s side find themselves back in the bottom three though, despite the point they picked up at Leeds, due to Nottingham Forest’s surprise win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Wednesday.
It is remarkable that Leicester find themselves in 18th considering they have scored the most goals out of any side in the bottom half.
Having not kept a clean sheet in 18 Premier League encounters goes some way to explaining why, but that did not stop them from claiming all three points in their last home fixture.
That 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers has set Leicester up with an opportunity to win back-to-back home games for the first time this season
Smith has a wonderful record against Everton as well, having never lost in six previous Premier League meetings as a manager.
Defeat at home to Newcastle United has plunged Everton into even deeper trouble, as the club are now on the brink of a first relegation in 72 years.
A humiliating 4-1 thrashing on home soil on Thursday means Everton are two points from safety, but with their next four games consisting of three away games, and Manchester City at Goodison Park, it is difficult to see where Everton’s points are coming from.

That is due to their dreadful away form which has seen them win only once on the road this season, and just twice in their previous 33 away Premier League matches.
It was form at Goodison Park which kept Everton up last season, but with only Manchester City left to play at home before their final day showdown with Bournemouth, the Toffees will feel they need a miraculous change in fortunes away from home.
Starting with this encounter, realistically Sean Dyche’s men need a win, and that is what they got last season at a similar stage of the campaign, winning 2-1 at the King Power.
