Everton will endeavour to make it three Premier League wins on the spin when the entertain Leicester City at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon.
After kicking off his second stint in charge of the Toffees with a 1-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa, David Moyes’ has since steered his side to back-to-back triumphs in the top-flight.
A 3-2 win over Tottenham was followed by hard-fought 1-0 win away at Brighton last time out, a pair of victories that has moved Everton six points above the relegation zone.
Seeking to increase their buffer over the bottom three, the Merseysiders will look to make it three wins in succession when Leicester come to town.

That victory has lifted Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side out of the drop zone ahead of this weekend’s trip to Goodison Park.
