Everton v Leicester City team news and live stream: Frank Lampard continues bid to save Toffees from relegation, Foxes look to bounce back after defeat to Newcastle United – kick-off time, latest news, how to follow

Everton welcome Leicester City to Goodison Park on Wednesday night in the Premier League as they look to stave off relegation.

The Toffees are three points clear of the drop zone with a game in hand on Burnley and a win would go a long way to securing their top-flight future.

Weirdly, this is the first meeting between the two this season because of Covid postponements and it is an important game for both sides.

Leicester will be looking to bounce back from their defeat at St James' Park to Newcastle United.

The Foxes were unbeaten in three and will now look to get back on track against an Everton side fighting for their lives.

The Toffees have been awful away from home for a long time, but they have won their last two league fixtures at Goodison Park, so those points have been crucial in their battle to stay up.

The Toffees have also beaten the Foxes in three of the last four league meetings at Goodison, so recent history is on their side.

Everton v Leicester: Team news

The home side have quite a few injury concerns to key players and that could make their task harder.

Yerry Mina hasn't played since February with a hamstring injury, while Donny van de Beek hasn't played since withdrawing from the West Ham match just before kick-off.

The Toffees are also set to be without Tom Davies, Nathan Patterson and Andros Townsend until the end of the campaign.

Meanwhile, the away side will definitely be without Wilfried Ndidi and possibly Jamie Vardy.

The former England international hasn't played since March due to a knee injury and is a big doubt for this game.

However, we could see Jonny Evans and Wesley Fofana return to the centre of defence after both were rested at the weekend.

Timothy Castagne and Ricardo Pereira will also be pushing to start as will James Maddison after his winning goal against PSV in the Europa Conference League last Thursday.

So, Rodgers could make quite a few changes from the side that lost on Sunday.
