Premier League result: Leicester City move out of the relegation zone following a 2-2 draw with fellow strugglers Everton at the King Power Stadium

Vardy spins in behind on to Thomas' pass. He intelligently delays his cut back from the left and waits for Maddison, who shifts into space for a shot but can't find a way past PIckford.

Once again it's the away side who create an opening in the attacking third but Keane's thumping strike is importantly blocked from Leicester's perspective.

STAT: Everton have been beaten in four of their past five Premier League away matches played on Mondays (D1), failing to net on four occasions in that spell.

Iwobi lets fly with a first-time strike from the right edge of the area after a surging run and pass from Doucouré, but Iversen sticks out a big hand to somehow push it over the crossbar.

Guye is left in acres of space on the edge of the area but despite calmly collecting the half cleared corner, he lashes a poor 20-yard strike well over the bar.

He should have at least fired that on target.

Coleman shows lovely feet just outside the area but his speculative drive is diverted behind for a right-wing corner.

Leicester struggle to fully clear their lines and the visitors have another chance to come up with a delivery from the opposite flank.

Soumare motors in space on the left side of the box but sees his cross blocked by Garner. The home crowd scream for a spot kick, but the referee is quick to wave away any suggestions of a hand ball.

Foxes boss Dean Smith has not lost in six previous showdowns with Everton. Indeed, he has won four times and drawn twice when sitting in the opposition dugout.

Apparently, only Antonio Conte (seven) has faced Everton more without ever losing to them as a manager in the English top-flight.

It's very early days but Leicester have had all of the ball and almost get Vardy in on the left side of the area.

Leicester City get us underway.

The players are out on the pitch for a match that could well decide which one stays up and which one goes down....

Yep, it's potentially that big, so strap yourself in - it could be emotional!

Everton have won on their last two league visits to Leicester, but have never won three consecutive away games against the Foxes.

The Foxes are aiming to secure a PL double over Everton for just the second time following their 2-0 success at Goodison Park in November.

The first time they achieved the feat was in their 2015-16 title winning campaign.

Both sides are currently in the relegation zone with 19th-placed Everton on 28 points and Leicester just above them on 29 points.

"Not a lot has changed since the new appointments within the coaching staff. The camp has always been very positive, and we all trust in one another’s ability to get points and win games. Now, we just have to stay focused for the Everton match, which is a huge game. But we don’t need to think about the enormity of it, and instead just focus on the elements of our performance, and the result will come.”

"The stakes have been high since I got here. That's what the players need to remember. They need to be high at this football club. It's strange how quickly it can turn around. The key point is you making it happen, I can't emphasise that enough. I say it to the players constantly - you make things happen in football."

"As I've said right from the start when I came in, the togetherness of the supporters will rub off on the players out on the pitch and help them. I can see players now playing with a lot more belief and confidence, which will only help us. That feeling of not losing - which has happened too frequently this season - and being tougher to beat is going to hold us in good stead."

Sean Dyche makes two alterations to the side that were thumped 4-1 at home by Newcastle last time out.

Captain Seamus Coleman is back from a hamstring issue while James Garner is given the nod in midfield.

Wilfred Ndidi returns in midfield while Luke Thomas comes in at left back as the hosts make two changes from the draw with Leeds United.
