LEI vs ESS Match Prediction & Analysis
Ahead of this clash on Sunday, the two sides are operating in mid-table, from fourth to seventh but it is certainly not too late for both teams to make a push for the higher positions in Group A.
Equally, the One-Day Cup remains in its early days with all nine teams in the group having played only four fixtures so far in this year's campaign.
Essex have so far been operating towards the bottom end of Group A and they will begin Sunday just two points above Glamorgan who sit at the bottom of the table.
But in Leicester on Sunday afternoon, we anticipate large crowds and an excellent contest between these two sides.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Leicestershire Preview
For Leicestershire, their fixture on Friday in Southampton saw them go down by seven wickets with 39 balls remaining as Hampshire got the better of them.
They were bowled out for 252 from 48.4 overs and ultimately that proved to be too few runs so that will be an area of their game which they will want to rectify on Sunday.
Opener Sol Budinger hit 65 runs at the top of the order and he will need his opening partner Ian Holland to stand up and also contribute this time around. Shan Masood and Ben Cox both some into this match looking to hit a second successive half-century.
They also need more penetration with the ball as only Chris Wright, Liam Trevaskis and Ben Mike picked up a solitary wicket in the last fixture.
Leicestershire Predicted Playing XI:
Ian Holland, Sol Budinger, Lewis Hill, Shan Masood, Peter Handscomb (c), Ben Cox (wk), Liam Trevaskis, Ben Mike, Tom Scriven, Chris Wright, Alex Green

Essex Preview
Essex had struggled during this year's One-Day Cup before Friday's home clash with Surrey at Chelmsford.
But whatever was said in the pre-match team talk and huddle, not to mention whatever was on the breakfast menu, expect everything to be the same for this game after they thrashed Surrey by an incredible 244 runs!
With the bat, Matt Critchley, Luc Benkenstein and Simon Harmer all come into this clash after hitting a half-century in the last match. Irish international Curtis Campher was the big star with 123 not out from 68 balls and will want to carry on from where he left off.
The whole bowling attack delivered in that game but it was Charlie Bennett who was the biggest threat and he'll be looking to add to his figures of 5/36 in this clash.
Essex Predicted Playing XI:
Robin Das, Matt Critchley, Tom Westley (c), Charlie Allison, Luc Benkenstein, Curtis Campher, Simon Harmer, Simon Fernandes (wk), Jamal Richards, Charlie Bennett, Jamie Porter

We have seen plenty of excellent batting performances throughout this season at Grace Road and we could well see another in this game where a par score could be over 340.
Toss: To Bowl
Three of the last four head to heads between the sides have been won by the team fielding first so we predict that both captains will want to bowl first ahead of this match.

Winning Prediction
Although Essex enjoyed a huge win over a much-weakened Surrey in their last game and will be confident, we are expecting the home side to be too strong and to come out on top on Sunday.
