Leicester vs Everton live score, highlights, lineups, and result from Premier League relegation battle

Two of the bottom three teams in the Premier League will be facing off in a desperate relegation clash when Leicester City welcome Everton at the King Power Stadium with the winner momentarily set to escape the drop zone.

Leicester (29 points) have one more point than Everton (28 points) and will be playing at home on Monday, giving them the slight edge in the race to avoid the trap door to the second-tier Championship. Everton have won just a single road game all season (back in October at last-place Southampton), but the Foxes have the second-worst home record in the league. 

Everton are winless in six (three draws), while Leicester have just one win in their last 11 league matches. There will only be four games remaining after Monday’s clash and the run-in for both teams will be challenging with each facing two opponents inside the top 10.

• Everton: Brighton (away), Man City (home), Wolves (away), Bournemouth (home)
• Leicester: Fulham (away), Liverpool (home), Newcastle (away), West Ham (home)

FiveThirtyEight projects Everton as one of the three clubs most likely to be relegated (67 percent chance), while Leicester are given a better chance to survive (24 percent chance of relegation) though that could be flipped depending on Monday’s result.

Leicester vs Everton match updates, goals and highlights

40 mins from kickoff: All eyes on Everton centre-back Michael Keane and whether he can perform in a big spot. He hasn’t done enough to make fans forget that Conor Coady has been left to ride the bench.

1 hour from kickoff: Lineups are in. Everton regular Amadou Onana is on the bench after a bout with illness, while Ben Godfrey has a groin injury. Mason Holgate is not in the Toffees squad.

For Leicester, Luke Thomas (left-back) and Wilfred Ndidi (midfield) are in, while Victor Kristiansen and Tete are on the bench. It’s a more defensive look for the Foxes with Ndidi in place of Tete.

70 mins from kickoff: Everton legend Neville Southall joins the supporters venting on social media ahead of the Toffees’ critical five-match run-in.

Getting sick and tired of hearing
This is a must win game
They all were and are that’s how you win a league
Mentality has to be that every game every season

90 mins from kickoff: Everton have their work cut out for them to prove the naysayers wrong. Another one of those is pundit Ian Wright who says:

“The last few games Everton have are not good … I think Leeds are in trouble and I think Everton are going down, too. I fancy Leicester to win tonight.”

2 hrs from kickoff: Look away Everton fans. One of those stat nuggets that does not bode well.

Everton’s match against Leicester is the first match where they and their opponents are in the bottom three after having played at least 33 league games since the last game of the 1950/51 season against Sheffield Wednesday (Everton lost 6-0 and were relegated). #EFC #LEIEVE

Leicester vs Everton lineups

Manager Dean Smith confirmed that forward Kelechi Iheanacho is out and reports indicate he could miss the rest of the season with the groin injury picked up last time out. Veteran Jamie Vardy replaces him in the starting lineup.

Luke Thomas is in at left-back in place of Victor Kristiansen, who’s on the bench, and Wilfred Ndidi starts as Tete takes his place among the subs. Defenders Jonny Evans, Ryan Bertrand and James Justin continue to be unavailable.

Leicester City lineup (4-3-3): Daniel Iversen (GK) — Timothy Castagne, Wout Faes, Caglar Soyuncu, Luke Thomas — Youri Tielemans, Wilfred Ndidi, Boubakary Soumare — James Maddison, Jamie Vardy, Harvey Barnes.

Leicester City subs (9): Danny Ward (GK), Harry Souttar, Victor Kristiansen, Daniel Amartey, Dennis Praet, Nampalys Mendy, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Tete, Patson Daka

Captain Seamus Coleman returns from a hamstring injury and slots in at right-back, but midfield regular Amadou Onana has been ill in recent days and will start on the bench as James Garner takes his place.

Ben Godfrey is also not in the squad due to a groin injury, and neither is Mason Holgate despite being back from suspension. Portuguese on-loan left-back Ruben Vinagre (Achilles issue) and forward Andros Townsend, who’s missed the entire season as he nears a comeback from an ACL injury, remain out.

Everton lineup (4-3-3): Jordan Pickford (GK) — Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane, James Tarkowski, Vitaliy Mykolenko — James Garner, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Abdoulaye Doucoure — Alex Iwobi, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Dwight McNeil.
