Everton vs Leicester

Abdoulaye Doucouré’s opener for Everton after 10.18 seconds is the fourth-fastest goal scored in Premier League history, and the fastest scored by a player in a home game.  

Everton have won three successive Premier League games for only the second time since the start of 2024, previously doing so in April.

Everton’s opening goal was the 50th Leicester City have conceded in the Premier League this season; after 24 games, it’s the earliest they’ve reached that total in a top-flight campaign since 1959-60 (23rd game).

Everton lost their last home league match against Leicester 2-0 in November 2022 – they’ve never lost back-to-back league meetings with the Foxes at Goodison Park.

Leicester have won just one of their last eight Premier League meetings with Everton (D4 L3), though it was their last away match against them in November 2022.

17 of the 35 Premier League meetings between Leicester and Everton have been drawn, the highest percentage for any fixture to have been played 30+ times in the competition (49%).

Following wins against Tottenham and Brighton, Everton will be looking to win three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since April 2024.

Leicester beat Tottenham 2-1 in their last Premier League game. They’ve not won consecutive away matches in the top-flight since October/November 2022 (a run of three) which included a 2-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park.
