Saturday’s Premier League action concludes at the home of the champions as Leicester City welcome Everton to the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes were confirmed as title-winners on Monday evening as second-place Tottenham Hotspur only managed to draw with Chelsea, and will be handed their trophy after this match.

Victory here will stretch their lead at the top to ten points with Spurs hosting Southampton in Sunday’s early kick-off.

Claudio Ranieri’s side are unbeaten in ten matches, winning seven in that run though they only managed to draw with Manchester United last time out.

Both Robert Huth and Danny Drinkwater will both miss this game through suspension though top scorer Jamie Vardy returns from his two-match ban and Matty James could make a his first appearance of the season after missing a year with a knee injury.

Vardy is favourite to open the scoring at 5.0 (4/1) with a number of firms, ahead of 7.0 (6/1) shot Riyad Mahrez.

The home win can be backed at 1.91 (10/11) with the visitors as highly priced as the 4.0 (3/1) on offer from Bet 365. The draw is widely available at 4.33 (10/3).

The Toffees go in to the weekend in eleventh place following their 2-1 victory over Bournemouth – a result which ended a run of seven games without a win.

Gareth Barry and Seamus Coleman are both edging towards full fitness but aren’t expected to return until next weekend while Gerard Deulofeu is definitely out with a knee problem and Ramiro Funes Mori is suspended.

Romelu Lukaku can be backed at 7.0 (6/1) to get the first goal of the game, ahead of Arouna Kone who is priced at 10.0 (9/1) with 888 Sport.

Leicester ran out 3-2 winners when the sides met at Goodison Park back in December while both of last season’s meetings between the sides ended in 2-2 draws.

You can bet on there being four or more goals this time around at 2.63 (13/8) with William Hill while several bookmakers offer 1.57 (4/7) for both teams to score.
