Everton welcome struggling Leicester City to Goodison Park in their last Premier League home game before this winter's World Cup.
Frank Lampard's side picked up a valuable point last time out as they played out a goalless draw with Marco Silva's Fulham - who have endured a fruitful return to the top-flight since winning the Championship earlier this year. The Blues put on an impressive display in their last outing on home soil as they defeated Crystal Palace with ease as Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anthony Gordon and Dwight McNeil all got on the scoresheet.
Despite their poor start to the season, Leicester City have entrusted Brendan Rodgers - who won the FA Cup with the Foxes in 2021 - to turn their fortunes around. Since claiming their first win of the season against Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest last month, the Foxes have lost just two of their last five league outings. And below are all the details you need to know ahead of tonight's encounter.

Early team news
Frank Lampard has provided an update on Nathan Patterson’s fitness and declared that this is now the strongest Everton squad he’s been able to pick from since he came to the club. Patterson started Everton’s first seven Premier League matches this season before picking up an ankle injury playing for Scotland against Ukraine on September 24.
The 21-year-old came off the bench to replace captain Seamus Coleman and play the final 26 minutes of last Saturday’s goalless draw at Fulham and asked what condition Patterson is now in, Lampard said: “He’s ready to start, he came on last week and it’s more just my decision now of how ready to start he is.”
