EVERTON V LEICESTER CITY: FA CUP 3RD ROUND (SAT 7 JANUARY 2017 3PM)

[anton66]

Doesn't look like there will be much of a crowd for this one.Went down box office inperson today and got 1 for the park end and was asked where about I would like to sit.Thats usually an indication of low to mid 20s.

I'd say about 30,000. Leicester not bringing too many, which is strange because if they were playing across the park, they would have taken their full allocation.

Does anyone know why this game isn't being televised?

I would say because Liverpool and Man United aren't playing in it

Apparently according to our local rag Ranieri is putting out a full strength team ... Drinkwater and Vardy deffo then and maybe this new midfielder we've bought .. which seems very unranieri like ... if this is the case don't think you'll have such an easy game as you had against our Boxing Day line up.

I suppose that the BBC preferred West Ham v Man City as a north v south game to Everton v Leicester.

But neither match will produce a giant-killer, which is what everybody wants to see. In which case, Plymouth v Liverpool would have had a far wider appeal than Liverpool v Plymouth.

Mahrez and Slimani at AFCON am I right in saying?

 

[FreddyStar]

think we will win this easy going for 3 or 4 goals to nothing

Be a tough game this but I reckon we will win 2-1. Would love us to absolutely stuff them and start stringing some performances together as well as results.

On a purely selfish note, I'm for the game tomorrow and I can't wait

We are mega rich. Just give who's ever in goal for leicester a zillion quid to drop 3 or 4 in the net. Just to be sure.

..that might only work if it's Grobelaar (allegedly).

 

[Steve Wood]

Mahrez won't be missed ... Slimani maybe

...but Vardy and Huth back from the last game when they were very poor. We need to ensure Vardy doesn't exploit space in behind which usually means sitting deep. Also need a bit of pace back there.

Leicester city players are all staying at the same hotel as myself, I'll go and get a drinking round going........

.....lovely and positive but it amazes me how folk think like this after watching us this season. We truly struggle to create and rarely trouble opposition goalkeepers. I'm just happy with a win, i hope it's as comfortable as you predict.
