Everton predicted lineup vs. Leicester: Ancelotti sticks to 4-3-3, Calvert-Lewin leads the frontline

Here is the Everton predicted lineup against Leicester City.

Everton travel to Leicester midweek after securing three points against Chelsea on Saturday. The Toffees are undergoing a turbulent phase in the season with just seven points in seven games, a stark contrast of the first half of the season where Everton went unbeaten in first six games in the league.

Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester are flying high, sitting third in the table. Despite injury concerns at the back, the Foxes have coped well and maximized their potential. Ancelotti’s men won’t find it easy to get past the Foxes. Leicester thrives on counter attacks and are one of the most threatening sides in the Premier League on the break.

Everton will be without Seamus Coleman, James Rodriguez and Fabian Delph leaving Ancelotti with little or no room for rotation. With a hectic festive schedule coming up, Ancelotti will have to tinker the squad to keep his key players fresh.

Here is the predicted lineup:

Goalkeeper: Jordan Pickford

The Englishman is experiencing a rich run of form after back to back solid performances against Leeds, Burnley and Chelsea. Starting him between the sticks against Leicester is one of the easiest squad decisions Ancelotti will make. Pickford looks in good nick, sharp and filled with confidence.
