Match Thread Everton v Leicester City - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

Goodison under the lights can be very special indeed.

Some have argued that this is one of the most important matches in our club’s illustrious history and I agree. The very survival of our club is at stake here; if we go down this season for the first time in well over seventy years we are in big trouble, financially and in every other regard.

Leicester are an excellent side: Recent Premier League champions, current FA Cup holders and UEFA Cup semi-finalists. They’ve also beaten the RS this season. BUT… if the Goodison crowd is up for this one like they were up for the Man Utd game… we’ll have a chance of causing an upset and maintaining our top-flight status. Or at least taking a step towards maintaining our top-flight status.

Told none of them..

Well if you haven't told them no wonder they haven't scheduled it

Can you imagine 10 years ago that we'd be calling a win at home against Leicester an upset? It's a funny old game. Would be a massive result

Oh my god I’ve just remembered Ademola Lookman plays for these.

Scoring recently too

 

[Rich1878]

2-1 to Everton ! UTFT

 

[USABlue]

Lookman definitely going to score so we'll need 2

Wish this was tonight, the waiting between games is horrid in a relegation scrap.

I’d play the same team that beat United except with Mina in for Keane. DCL has been gash for whatever reason, but the only other option is Rich through the middle and Gray on the wing. Think I’d rather keep that as plan B.

I'd play the same team precisely. Mina won't be match fit, will he?

 

[barneygumble]

Just had a quick look on their forum, and half of them are frothing over the prospect of relegating us.

In to these please Everton. Just win.

 

[Thomasc]

Mina for Keane
Gray for DCL

Hopefully Donny VDB back for this one?

 

[Toffe3m4n]

With the Anfield derby coming up this is another must win really. Need to keep Burnley as far away from us as possible.

 

[Sarnia Kevin]

I would be happy with a 1-0 win for us. COYB!

 

[DanEFC92]

Win is essential really.

Leicester are a decent side.

Not an “excellent“ one.

Their away record in recent months is almost as bad as ours.

We have beaten both Arsenal and United at home….drew with Spurs and we were unlucky not to take a point when City came.

It will not be an “upset” if we beat them.

I quite fancy we will.

COYBB

Rodgers was very complimentary of Newcastle in his post match comments. Leicester are one of the most inconsistent teams in the league and must've lost more games in the dying minutes than any team I can ever remember.
